Evicted from their island crofts by their laird,the people of Fladday find their lives cruelly disrupted,their very faith and endurance used against them.For they are 'the wicked generation': tradition-bound,fatalistic generation bowing to the judgement of a harsh God and His earthly representatives.Weakened by starvation and disease,scattered by emigration,their story still reverberates wherever ethnic communities are threatened by the juggernaut of economic forces.In this powerful new novel Alison Johnson brilliantly contrasts the cushioned ease of the lairds' life with the raw poverty of the crofters,and reaches to the dark
heart of the relationship between exploiter and exploited.An uncommon SIGNED +dedicated copy.
