Review of 'The quarry wood' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Interesting story, at times it is beautifully written when the landscape is being described, but it feels lacking the rest of the time.

A lot of the conversation in this book has been written with a thick Scottish accent and was fascinating to read, at times I had to get my wife to translate some parts but overall I managed to follow it ok.

I only read this book as I wanted to read the living mountain but the library only had this book by Nan Shepherd. I am glad I gave it a go as it hints at the living mountain as being a very good book.
