Chris Guthrie, torn between her love of the land and her desire to
escape the narrow horizons of a peasant culture, is the thread that
links these three works. In them, Gibbon interweaves the personal
joys and sorrows of Chris' life with the greater historical and
political events of the time. Sunset Song, the first and most
celebrated book of the trilogy, covers the early years of the
twentieth century, including the First World War. Chris survives,
with her son Ewan, but the tragedy has struck and her wild spirit
is subdued. In Cloud Howe, as the minister's wife, Chris learns to
love again, and we witness the cruel gossip and high comedy of
small village life until, once again, Chris suffers a terrible
loss. Grey Granite focuses on her son Ewan and his passionate
involvement with justice for the common man. For Chris, with her
intuitive strength, nothing lasts - only the land endures.
