In the shadow of a war that rages through Europe, brothers Calum
and Neil work to gather pine cones in the grounds of a Scottish
estate. When Calum releases two mutilated rabbits from a snare, he
comes face to face with Duror, the gamekeeper. In retaliation, in
the depths of the wood, Duror lays a trap for the cone-gatherers.
Neil prophesises that forces of evil will encroach upon the harmony
of their lives. It is a prophesy that comes true when Duror commits
an act so brutal it destroys all sense of humanity in the once
thriving wood. Powerful and unforgettable, Robin Jenkins'
masterpiece is a haunting story of love and violence, and an
investigation of class-conflict, war and envy.
