Sunset Song Lewis Grassic Gibbon

Now a major motion picture directed by Terence Davies, starring Agyness Deyn, Peter Mullan and Kevin Guthrie, Sunset Song is a powerful portrait of a land and people in turmoil, seen through the life and struggles of its heroine Chris Guthrie.

In the years up to and beyond the First World War, Chris's resilience, like the land itself, endures despite everything, and is portrayed with a lyrical intensity that echoes through the years and still resonates today.
