A field full of folk : a novel

Smith, Iain Crichton, 1928-19981982
Books, Manuscripts
Gentle, wry vignettes of life in a contemporary Scottish village--with particular emphasis on the older folk. The center of Crichton Smith's little pinwheel is the Reverend Peter Murchison, who's dying of cancer (unbeknownst to his somewhat younger wife) and brooding on his loss of faith: he ""felt disturbances within himself as if there was some volcanic evil that was trying to get out, a demon that possessed him like the demons mentioned in the Bible.""
