'A Time to Keep' is George Mackay Brown's second volume of short stories, first published in 1969 and now re-issued as a Flamingo Modern Classic.
These sublime stories of Orkney life – pure, elemental tales of the fishermen, crofters and farmers of the island and the harsh, beautiful landscape in which they live are wonderful examples of the work of Scotland's greatest living writer.
“Mr Brown really does possess the magician's touch: there are few writers alive today with the courage to be so simple and direct, or with the talent – the sheer, unforced talent – to lighten up the most humdrum detail of an ordinary life and transform it into something unforgettable”
OBSERVER
“Mr Brown finds more diversity of subject and mood in these islands than most writers would see in a city street. He evokes nature constantly, but naturally, with ease and no pretension. His images are stark, carefully placed, and exact...he is a precise, poetic, and dazzling writer.”
