Every now and again a book comes along which just blows you away and Of Stone and Sky is certainly one of those books for me. It’s a stunning story and so beautifully written.
It begins with a memorial for Colvin Munro, a shepherd who had gone missing seven years before and no trace of him was ever found. The memorial is led by his foster sister Mo who is just one of the narrators of the book and who has pieced together the story of what might have happened to Colvin and why. Colvin was a shepherd in the Cairngorms, carrying on the traditions of his father. Following his disappearance, over time, several of his personal possessions are found and through these significant items and the stories behind them, we learn more about Colvin, his family and their way of life.
Mo is a foster child of the family. She not only owns the local inn but is a rather unorthodox Church of Scotland minister though not often meeting the approval of the Presbytery Clerk. She cares for the needs of her flock much in the same way as a shepherd tends his sheep. Sorley is the younger son of the family by a long way. He left the area but has returned for reasons of his own and has plenty of secrets to hide.
The story is told from the points of view of several different narrators and the change between chapters was executed brilliantly. The connections between chapters and characters is obvious throughout. Connections is a word that kept coming to me as I was reading. There were the obvious connections of family and to ancestors, but also the connections between the people and the land, and the traditions of travellers and farming communities, knowledge and skills passed down from generation to generation in a continuing link to the past.
I read this while in the Highlands on holiday which really made the story and characters come alive for me. Even if I hadn’t been there though, Merryn Glover’s superb descriptions would have brought the landscape vividly to life. With her words, she paints a richly detailed portrait of her setting.
Of Stone and Sky is a book which deserves widespread recognition. It’s honestly one of the best books I’ve read, outstanding Scottish literary fiction and a real contender for my book of the year. I couldn’t put it down and savoured each of its pages. This is a book I don’t think I can possibly do justice to in a review so I would just urge you to get a copy and find out for yourself how good it is.

A gorgeously written multi-generational saga set among the stone and sky of Scotland's Cairngorm mountain range. Framed by a memorial and a mystery – the disappearance and presumed death of local shepherd Colvin Munro, it is a profoundly moving story of redemption, grace and the deep roots that allow people to thrive in and with the places they call home.
The story is told in short chapters shifting between multiple characters' perspectives. At first I found this slightly disconcerting, but these fragmentary perspectives pose one of the novel's deep concerns – the transience of human lives bound up in the much longer-lived life of land and water and forest and mountain – with the sense of the sacred they bear. Glover draws this sense out beautifully in rapturous description of the Cairngorms and what the land means to all the local people (including the politics and class contestation around land ownership and use, sustainability and stewardship). These fragments, too, create a very rich tapestry of family history as the narrative leads to some almost Dickensian revelations.
Beautiful.
By the way, I read this not in kindle edition but in a very fine Polygon Books hardback edition. Goodreads doesn't seem to know that it exists.

4.5 stars. "We have known guilt and sought forgiveness, we have lain down in remorse and longed for release. But, if we have learned anything in these seven years, it is that we do not move on by forgetting history, nor do we heal by denying the wound."
Set in the Scottish highlands, in the shadows of the Cairngorm mountains, Colvin Munro has disappeared. The novel is told with multiple narrators going backwards and forwards through time, with each section anchored by someone finding a belonging of Colvin's. The story begins with Colvin's mother as a young girl and moves through his life into the years after he goes missing. It is a beautiful story of family, community, things unsaid, and the ache to protect what we hold dear. This is definitely one of those novels where the setting is very much a character and Glover writes beautifully and passionately about the Highlands. I would love to see this book get more attention - it definitely deserves it.

This is the sort of book that should win awards, in my opinion. Complex and nuanced, the story will grab you from the outset and it may never let you go.
The themes are multiple: land use, ecology, community, family, Scottish history, love and loss, among others. The characters are compelling and the story immersive.
This is my home, this land of ‘stone and sky’, the people, the stories, and like the characters - and the author - I too feel the connection. If you live in the Scottish Highlands, you will understand this pull of place, if you don’t, you will undoubtedly want to visit. This lyrical, creatively organised and well-crafted tale, like the landscape in which its set, is bound to find a place in your heart.

A slow burner
It took some time for me to inhabit the book but as I did so, I more and more appreciated this as a hymn to the people, the land and the bonds which hold each to the other. A superb unfolding of the human stories and the different narratives of land and the title to it. A novel for our time: spiritual, visceral and full of longing. Three in one, the blessèd host, guest and lover.

I loved this book and became immersed in the richness and depth of the narrative, brooding as the landscapes and full of analogy to Scripture, ecological concern and the importance of "place". It is truly a beautiful book where prose becomes poetry ..

I loved this book, it took me a little while to find the rhythm but once I did I couldn’t put it down.
It’s multi a generation story, told by different voices, a family saga, beautifully written. The story line is intriguing and covers a whole range of emotions.
It took a little while to pick the voice of each chapter, but I think that added to the intrigue of the story.
The author’s description of the highlands and it’s landscape added to the richness of the story.
It truly is a beautifully written book with a story that tugs at the heartstrings.

I enjoyed the rich description of Scotland and the Biblical references throughout the book. The draw back while reading the book I had found were the short chapters, which I had very distracting and unfulfilled for some reason but that was just my preference.

Wow. I am an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, but it is exceedingly rare to encounter such an artfully woven tale. I started out not knowing anything about the culture of the Scottish highlands, and quickly found myself drawn into this world, and the richly written story of a beautiful community doing their best to live with dignity on an ancient land. A few weeks after finishing it, I still find myself thinking about some of the vividly painted scenes and wondering how the people of this land will continue to adapt as the speed of change increases. Thank you to the author for your contribution to the literature, and allowing distant readers like me to feel part of this land, if only for a short time.

Merryn Glover's "Of Stone and Sky" is a family saga covering 300 years to the present day, and set in the Cairngorms in the Scottish Highlands. But it is much more than that: it is also a multi-layered analysis of life in the Highlands and of the struggles and successes of the myriad of people, native and incomers, who make it their home. Its structure is unusual: as well as a third person narrative, there are also two first person narratives with the author moving from one to another without warning. This does require the reader to concentrate, but despite its slow start the novel is worth the effort.
At the novel's heart are three characters, brothers Colvin and Sorley and the adopted Mo, whose hair lip causes some to react against her. She not only becomes the village's Church of Scotland minister, but later the owner of the local pub, despite her being teetotal. The novel opens with Colvin's funeral, who is assumed dead despite no body being found. As we go back in time, we learn about the awful upbringing experienced by these three key characters.
Both Sorley and Mo separately leave the village to build their lives elsewhere, before returning to the place of their birth. The cast of characters features lairds and crofters, alcoholics and non-drinkers, the wealthy and the poor, gamekeepers and conservationists, in fact the whole gamut of the world as seen in a remote part of the Highlands. It addresses issues that have long concerned those of us who live in the Highlands: issues like land ownership and access, land use, the different perspectives of those who work the land and those who use it for recreation and more. It is an ambitious and at times difficult novel, but ultimately a rewarding and enjoyable one.

This is my first ever Scottish book club book and boy what a book. It’s another recent read that is a mystery but isn’t really. I say it isn’t but in some ways it SO is. What happened to Colvin and why the trail of possessions left in his wake like breadcrumbs? I can’t wait to book club Colvin’s possessions and their significance (although they are a bit like Harry Potter’s horcruxes in that I’m never going to be able to remember them all). Real interesting dissection to have there on Thursday when I go to my first meeting (eeks!)
I found the book timeless – even the modern parts, with the exception of Sorley’s ill fated London affair, felt like they could have fitted into any period in time. Is that the trick of the Highlands and it’s stoic mountains? Mo was a really interesting character shunning the ‘norms’ by running a pub and being a minister and dare I say it asexual? (or was this simply to do with her calling to God?). I single out Mo but there were a number of characters I liked whose heads I wish I could have seen inside of. Colvin for one!
The only thing I didn’t like was the typical Highland violent, drunk, penniless male streak that seemed to follow down the generations. At least it was acknowledged and even dealt with in the later stages of the book which was refreshing to read.
The overall quality of writing was So good, there is such a strong sense of place, the cover (hardback) was beautiful and I really enjoyed the whole story, both the mystery and the family saga. I will think of you Colvin Munro for some more time yet.

When I finished this novel I was sorry it was over—and I wanted to live in the Highlands! Glover's descriptions of the landscape, and of the everyday life of its denizens, are evocative and haunting, and the snap, observant quality, and now-and-then wryness of the writing is engaging. We learn about Scottish history, sheep farming, and small community life, and run the gamut of tragedy, joy, commitment, betrayal, courage, failure, longing, love, resilience, restoration, and mystery.
In some multi-generational stories I find the cast of characters too large and the arc too sweeping, but I appreciated the intimacy of this one. I found the characters well-drawn and believable, and Glover represents them with grace even in their uglier aspects. I loved the pace and short chapters— affording room for immersion and reflection without ever dragging—and the distinctive narrative voices and styles expressing different characters. And I liked the way it ended, although the departure of Colvin and the troubled and unresolved relationships of certain characters leave one with a lingering sorrow (like all truthful novels should).
I agree: it should win awards. If "A House Called Askival" was a great novel, this one is a tour de force.

This was a rare treat of a book, set in the Cairngorms with a story spanning almost a hundred years. At its heart was the friendship between two (almost) cousins born only weeks apart and growing up in the hardships of a tenancy farming family. The themes of belonging and landscape and community intertwined with the realities of small town living - sometimes harsh and cruel, at other times binding and loving. Despite the widely thrown net of stories and characters, shifting between a banker brought down by the financial crash, a neurodiverse teenager, a minister turned publican, a mean, increasingly demented aunt, there was a cohesiveness about this story which was I think down to the commonality of the central highland landscape - arguably not the most magnificent part of Scotland, but its land locked mountain ranges, ancient, if sparse woodlands and hidden lochs have a solid, forceful hold on its inhabitants. They may share a space, but hold diverging views about land management, ecology, tourism - everything really. But, ultimately, this book is hugely satisfying, well researched, and challenges the reader to look again at the romanticised view of highland life, through an open, curious lens. All life is here. Oh, and did I mention, it is beautifully written.

It’s not the sort of subject I really like reading about - Scottish land history, farm life and religion - so the fact that I even finished it and gave it 3 stars says a lot more than it seems (I read it for a book club). I did like the writing style and some of the short sentences expressed what had just happened wonderfully well. I liked the structure of short and very short chapters. I didn’t really think it worked as a crime mystery round Colvin but I loved the characters and how they were created. I noted all the annoying characters who flitted in and out had very English names but the main characters predominantly had Scottish names, although I’ve never heard of a Fachie in real life. I got annoyed with a few perceived inaccuracies which didn’t tie up with my life experience in Scotland and I thought it was unnecessary to invent a background for Liana’s mother even in just half a sentence but overall it was a very well written book and I cried at the end.

I can not recommend this book more highly. I’m convinced I felt just about every emotion possible while reading it and just savoured all the gorgeous writing in it, this for example
“An uncertain April. By turns fragile and fierce, days shifting between mizzle and sun, nights curled up in cloud or naked to frost. The land is only half awake. Still a little crushed by that hard husband winter and not yet dreaming of summer, it heals slowly to the touch of spring.”
I must have re-read that paragraph at least a dozen times, it’s just beautiful and so perfectly captures April in the Highlands.
Her weaving together of family, land, faith, humour, tenderness and detail make Merryn’s book a treat I will definitely return to. And I never re-read books.
Thank you to the author for writing such a beautiful story, an ode to the Highlands and a reminder of the preciousness of family, faith and love.

This book is sublime. It was an absolute joy to read, like drifting along a gentle stream with waves of poetic beauty constantly lapping around me.
While the beauty of the writing kept me coming back for more, so did the intriguing storyline which covers a range of generations, characters and circumstances.
Picking the narrator for each chapter was a challenge at first, however it added to the uniqueness of the story and added to the pleasure.
Though I've never been to Scotland, let alone the Scottish Highlands, it was portrayed in a fascinating and enchanting light - I'm now keen to get there and learn more of its agrarian history!
Looking forward to the sequel, if there is one!

Set in the Highlands of Scotland, the story follows the generations of shepherds working the land in the Cairngorms, tracking their highs and lows, passions and reprisals. At the core of the story is the disappearance of Colvin Munro, and peppered throughout the book are clues of his fate.
This is a literary saga with a mystery at the heart, although I felt the mystery unnecessary as the writing was so fluid and eloquent. Structured in short lyrical chapters, the plot flows effortlessly between different narrators over generations following themes that link back to the original mystery. Very cleverly written and complex, this is a joy to read.

This is not the sort of book I'd normally read - or maybe it just feels that way because I've never come across a book like this before. Set in the Scottish Highlands, it's the story of one family over the generations, particularly their relationship with the land. There is such beauty in how the author renders this, even as the interpersonal conflicts can feel ugly and fraught. I also especially enjoy how the narrative spools out in these short, punchy chapters that flow seamlessly despite being out of chronological order and from multiple perspectives. Really great writing. Lingers with you.

The book follows an extended family living in a rural setting in the upper Spey valley from the second world war through to present day. It explores the impact of WW2 on individuals and how they changed. The books describes how issues of land ownership, sheep farming, migration from the area and into the region, church history and even the financial crash impact the families over a period of 80 years. The book starts with a character who we already know is probably dead and ends focussed on same person. Readable, insightful and sensitive to the people and families who live and work on landed estates on the Scottish highlands.

When shepherd Colvin goes missing in the highlands his family try to discover what happened. A story of family,community, environment and struggle. I was a little confused by the time and character shifts at times but got into it and enjoyed it. Well researched and you can tell the author knows the area very well.
May 24, 2022
I enjoyed this rural story of a family from the area i live in scottish highlands. Sheep farmers on an estate and how their lives are all intermingled. Loved the characters some more than others. Loved the mum agnes and the three kids colvin sorley and mo. Was interested in what would happen in their lives. Not completely tied up at the end so possibly room for sequel??
July 23, 2023
Loved this, smiled and cried and stayed reading long after I should have been doing other things. The essence of the land and it’s people were portrayed and a time gone by with it’s values and hang ups painted sympathetically. Poetic, evocative and demanding of it’s reader but so worth it, a truly haunting story.

I felt that i was back home living in the Cairngorms as i did in the ‘70’s. I felt i knew each character , so reminisces of people living and working in the area..
Connecting people, their land and way of life.
A story of love, lost and mystery, sad at times but interwoven with humour .

A very rich mixture
First and foremost, an un-put-downable read. Fascinating characters, a satisfying number of them likeable!
I sometimes felt there were too many threads but they were all held together and resolved. Exciting and moving.

Stunning literary fiction by one of the most thoughtful and talented writers in Scotland! I read Of Stone and Sky when I spent a month in the Highlands, and the story captivated me and helped me know the landscape even better. Beautiful!!

This is one of the best books I have read in awhile. I was in the Scottish Highlands while I was reading it and it provided so much depth to the rich history there. Heartbreaking and poignant and all of the characters are messy and real and that's what I loved about it.

A many_ layered novel; the story of a family and the Scottish Cairngorms , where they live. A feast.

One of the best books I've read this year!
Got me from page 1!
Set in Scotland, starts as a mystery which deepens, twists and is wonderfully complemented along the way!
Just brilliant!
