Neil Munro's skilful characterisation and artful storytelling create a deeply sensitive parable or fable on the destructiveness of human greed and the vengefulness of the sea.
The story is steeped in Gaelic mythology and scattered with authentic landscape and coastline details of Barra, Uist and Mingulay, scene of the novel's dreadful climax.--houseoflochar.com. [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Munro, Neil
Neil Munro (1863—1930) was a Gaelic-speaking native of Argyllshire who spent most of his working life as a journalist and writer in Glasgow. He is universally known for his humorous Para Handy Tales which first appeared as newspaper sketches and which forever associate him with the West Highlands. His more important literary work includes a series of historical novels and some outstanding short stories—indeed, it has been suggested that Munro is one of Scotland's best short story writers.
