About this listen

The most acclaimed Scottish novel of all time, 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' resilience, like the land itself, endures despite everything and is portrayed with a lyrical intensity that echoes through the years and still resonates today.

Fantastic narration. I've read Sunset Song many times and will never tire of it. Eileen McCallum's voice is perfect and added so much to an already firm favourite of mine. I'm looking forward to listening again.

It was narrated with a soft Doric accent which brought the novel to life for me.

the narrator's authentic Scottish accent leads you into the Scottish Highlands in a beautiful rendition of a truly emotional atmospheric story.

A beautiful story beautifully narrated

Lyrical. Deeply affecting. Of its time yet timeless. Beautifully narrated with the lilting rythyms of an undiluted Scots dialect. I had forgotten just how good it was.

I've read the book several times. I love it. I bought the audible version on a whim, but didn't know what to expect. Eileen McCallum is so good at reading this. She brings it to life in a way I could never do in my own reading of it. It's told in a manner of someone who lives in Kinraddie, and enjoys the telling of tales of other folk's business. I'm so glad I bought it.

One of the best Scottish novels, read exquisitely

Listening to this was lovely, comforting even (despite the nature of it), having gone over the text in detail back in Higher English. The narrator choice felt just right and brought the characters back to life for me. I highly recommend this audiobook.

Brilliantly read

A favourite book, absolutely brought alive by the wonderful authentic narration of Eileen MacCallum. Highly recommended.

A classic

Beautifully written and read. Almost unbearably sad and intense as the story of a Scottish community in the era up to and including World War 2 unfolds.

Literary masterpiece
