The Wind That Shakes The Barley

The Wind that Shakes the Barley is the classic novel of the life and times of Robert Burns. Although he died at the age of just thirty-seven, Burns had lived an extraordinary life. Born into poverty and hardship, the family somehow managed to hire a tutor for the young Robert and his intelligence and passion were obvious from an early age. It was the start of a journey that would see him become one of the most talented and respected writers we have ever produced.

This is the first book in James Barke's quintet of novels about Robert Burns and is the finest and most accessible novel about Robert Burns ever written.
