About this product
Product Information
First published in 1933, Sun Circle belongs to Gunn's most creative period. A story of love and awakening set in a time of critical upheaval during the dawn of Scottish history, Breeta's people are the ancient, newly Christianized Pictish tribes living in remote Northern Scotland in the 9th century. Assailed by the pagan Vikings from across the sea, the clash of Christianity and paganism, of old and new, of Viking and Pict, is a conflict from which the Scottish nation is forged.Product Identifiers

Midsummer sun, time of sacrifice.
This would not suit everyone. It is complex, it is set in the time of the Viking ascendancy (tho' TV makes that contemporary), it is subtle, it is revealing of a time long gone. At the centre, the "King" sees battle as honorable but the Queen sees survival of her offspring as overarching. The Druids have their influence, being made up of selected men. But only to protect the here and now. Among the layity, he secret women's business is hinted at. "Ecstasy" is used in its literal sense (being outside yourself) not implying any joy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
