The Crow Road Author: Iain Banks

ISBN: 9780349139159 Format: Paperback Number Of Pages: 512 Published: 12 February 2013 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 19.7 x 12.7 x 3.3 Description: A coming-of-age story as only Banks can tell, THE CROW ROAD offers an arresting combination of dark humor, menace, and thought-provoking meditations on the nature of love, mortality, and identity.

From its bravura opening onwards, THE CROW ROAD is justly regarded as an outstanding contemporary novel.

''It was the day my grandmother exploded. I sat in the crematorium, listening to my Uncle Hamish quietly snoring in harmony to Bach's Mass in B Minor, and I reflected that it always seemed to be death that drew me back to Gallanach.''

Prentice McHoan has returned to the bosom of his complex but enduring Scottish family. Full of questions about the McHoan past, present and future, he is also deeply preoccupied: mainly with death, sex, drink, God and illegal substances. . .
