Length9h 48m
About this audiobook
Cloud Howe, the second volume of Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scots Quair, carries Chris Guthrie from the agrarian tragedy of Sunset Song into the uneasy social and spiritual landscape of postwar Segget. Centred on her marriage to the idealistic minister Robert Colquohoun, the novel examines faith, class resentment, industrial poverty, and the faltering promises of modern Scotland. Its prose blends lyrical narration with Scots-inflected rhythms, extending the modernist experiment of the trilogy while remaining rooted in the oral cadences of communal memory. Lewis Grassic Gibbon was the pen name of James Leslie Mitchell, born in rural Aberdeenshire in 1901. His intimate knowledge of farming communities, his journalism, military experience, and radical socialist sympathies shaped his fiction's fierce attention to social change and human endurance. Cloud Howe reflects his concern with a Scotland caught between inherited traditions and the pressures of modern political consciousness. This Scottish classic is recommended to readers interested in modernist fiction, regional literature, and novels that unite private feeling with historical transformation. It is essential for understanding Chris Guthrie's development and Gibbon's profound vision of Scotland.
