The Quarry Wood (Canons, 76) - Softcover
When Martha accepts a place at university, her decision is met with a mixture of hostility and pride by her uncomprehending family. This is the story of a young woman's journey to maturity and independence, struggling to cope with the intellectual and emotional challenges that surround her, at a time when such space was rarely given freely to women.
In The Quarry Wood, Nan Shepherd's subtle prose is matched with intense and memorable descriptions of the natural world, and a dry sense of humour. Ninety years after the first publication, it remains as fresh and original today.

Book Description:
On its 90th anniversary, the debut novel - one of the most important works of Scottish modernism - from Nan Shepherd, author of The Living Mountain and The Weatherhouse
From the Back Cover:
This is essentially the story of a young woman's journey to maturity and independence, her high ideals, and a slowly-growing awareness of her passionate nature. Nan Shepherd's subtle prose and her understanding of the hidden currents which move people are matched by her intense and memorable descriptions of the natural world, and a dry sense of humor. The book has lost none of its freshness and originality since it met with high praise on publication over seventy years ago--four years before Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song.
