  • In his typical dark humor Iain Banks tells us stories about an eccentric Scottish family and their dark secrets. Highly recommended for its great cast of characters, flow of narrative and wit. Besides that every book that starts with an exploding grandmother deservers to be read!

  • Lots of fun, great characters, good suspense. It made me want to pack my bags and head for the nearest Loch.

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.
