«Sunset Song» is the historical novel by Lewis Grassic Gibbon (James Leslie Mitchell), published by Polygon in paperback (263 pages, in English).
Chris Guthrie, daughter of a Scottish farm, is torn between her attachment to the land and the lure of study. The First World War and social and economic changes shatter her world. The novel lyrically portrays the disappearance of a rural way of life and the resilience of a protagonist who endures like the landscape.

Recommended reading for those who enjoy historical fiction, Scottish narrative and stories about the rural world and its transformation.
