The Year of the Stranger Bewertungen

'A riveting story of harsh injustices and prejudices that turns into a strange parable... a climax that has almost visionary quality. Mr McLean is a very powerful writer indeed.' -- The Guardian 'This haunting novel focuses on the clearance township of Uig on Skye in 1877. Calum's vivid flash-back narrative incorporates biblical and folktale elements. Its ambiguities will promote differing interpretations among young readers.' -- Treasure Island: A guide to Scottish fiction for young readers aged 10-14, Summer 2003
