I have recently finished 'The Silver Bough' by Neil M Gunn and must recommend it to all here.

My third Gunn book and i've been absolutely entranced by each one, but this is my favourite so far. (Im going to have to read them all)

His communication is so rarefied it feels almost peverse.
I've only ever read one other author in the same league, imo, and thats John Cowper Powys.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
