Silver Darlings by Neil M. Gunn

Silver Darlings

by Neil M. Gunn

The tale of lives won from a cruel sea and crueller landlords. The dawning of the herring fisheries brought with it the hope of escape from the Highland Clearances, and this story paints a vivid picture of a community fighting against nature and history, and refusing to be crushed.

Good grief, this was bleak and boring. Sure it ends on a hopeful note, but I am just so done with this book.
