Description

A true modern classic and inspirational Scottish novel.

”Vividly depicted … sheer beauty” OBSERVER

”A masterpiece of simplicity” FINANCIAL TIMES

”A simple but noble book … this deserves to be read” SCOTSMAN

”When she rose in the morning the house at first seemed to be the same. The sun shone through the curtains of her window. On the floor it turned to minute particles like water dancing. Nevertheless, she felt uneasy …

What had the girl said? Something about the ”burning of houses”. They just couldn”t put people out of their houses, and then burn the houses down. No one had ever heard of that before. Not in the country…”

In this modern classic, from one of Scotland”s greatest writers, CONSIDER THE LILIES captures the thoughts and memories of an old woman who has lived all her life within the narrow confines of her community during one of the cruellest episodes of Scottish history – the Highland Clearances.
