When Martha accepts a place at university, her decision is met with
a mixture of hostility and pride by her uncomprehending family.
This is the story of a young woman's journey to maturity and
independence, struggling to cope with the intellectual and
emotional challenges that surround her, at a time when such space
was rarely given freely to women. In The Quarry Wood, Nan
Shepherd's subtle prose is matched with intense and memorable
descriptions of the natural world, and a dry sense of humour.
Ninety years after the first publication, it remains as fresh and
original today.
