Description

And the Land Lay Still is a sweeping portrait of modern Scotland, told through the interconnected stories of its people. Set against the backdrop of rapid change and great upheaval, this epic novel explores the complexities of family, friendship, struggle, and hope in a nation on the move.

James Robertson's masterful insight into Scotland's history in the twentieth century is both moving and beautifully written, with a cast of characters that includes journalists, politicians, drop-outs, and spooks, all trying to make their way through a country in flux.

This powerful and moving novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the history and culture of Scotland, and is a testament to the author's skill and craftsmanship as a storyteller.
