'Strong and impressive work' - A. J. Alvarez
'There is a grave beauty in these lines, revealing a poetic voice of great sensitivity' - Alexander McCall Smith on Evensong
'An atmospheric, wintry tale of fragile human relationships set in a beautiful but unforgiving landscape' - James Robertson on The Ice and Other Stories
The story of Deirdre of the Sorrows is widely known in Ireland, yet all but forgotten across the water in Scotland. This great tragic love story, which has its roots in the ninth or tenth century, is very much shared by both countries.

Praise for Kenneth Steven

'Strong and impressive work' - A. J. Alvarez

'There is a grave beauty in these lines, revealing a poetic voice of great sensitivity' - Alexander McCall Smith on Evensong

'An atmospheric, wintry tale of fragile human relationships set in a beautiful but unforgiving landscape' - James Robertson on The Ice and Other Stories

The story of Deirdre of the Sorrows is widely known in Ireland, yet all but forgotten across the water in Scotland. This great tragic love story, which has its roots in the ninth or tenth century, is very much shared by both countries. For Deirdre, according to the legend, fled with her lover Naoise to Argyll. The oldest song in Scotland is believed to be Deirdre's haunting farewell to her adopted land as she returns once more to Ireland.

In this new sequence, Deirdre of the Sorrows, Kenneth Steven beautifully reimagines the legend of this love story; he brings back to life Deirdre's journey and attempts to capture its timeless power.
