Reviews for Snake Road

I ADORED Snake Road. Couldn't put it aside...so gentle and wise and uniquely observed. There can't be another Scottish novel, or indeed contemporary one, I will like more this year... a brilliant and beautifully written novel Alan Warner A deeply humane tale of memory, loss and the struggle to understand a family's past Metro The sacred geometry of ageing and the timeless measuring out of love are what sustain this subtle, beautiful book Guardian A brilliantly perceptive novel of loss and love Scotsman Writing of this extraordinary quality and depth is only ever to be welcomed, embraced and, hopefully, suitably rewarded Scotland on Sunday
