Summary

The war is ending, perhaps ended. For the castle and its occupants the troubles are just beginning. Armed gangs roam a lawless land where each farm and house supports a column of dark smoke. Taking to the roads with the other refugees, anonymous in their raggedness, seems safer than remaining in the ancient keep. However, the lieutenant of an outlaw band has other ideas and the castle becomes the focus for a dangerous game of desire, deceit and death.

Iain Bank's masterly novel reveals his unique ability to combine gripping narrative with a relentlessly voyaging imagination. The narrative technique and sheer brio of A Song Of Stone reveal a great novelist at the height of his powers.

Critic Reviews

"His boldest and most ambitious experiment with fiction since The Bridge." (Time Out)

All stars
Most relevant
Heartbreakingly sad in the story of depravity in the time of war and in the context of a dysfunctional family

Just as sad as I remember it when I read it the first time
