'A surprising page-turner, full of humour and startling details' THE TIMES
'If I read a better history this year, I will be lucky' TOM HOLLAND
'A surprising page-turner, full of humour and startling details… In Storm’s Edge, Marshall set out to ‘make the peripheral central’, and so he has'
The Times
'If I read a better history this year, I will be lucky. A rich, sweeping, moving and often drily funny survey both of Orkney itself, and of Orkney as a vantage point from which to survey much else… Among all its many other qualities, Storm’s Edge is very moving for the pride in his homeland displayed by the author'
Tom Holland
'Engrossing and near-faultless… Orkney already boasts a roll call of distinguished writers. The list has just got longer'
Literary Review
'Peter Marshall’s new, very readable history of the archipelago is a wonderful corrective to our tendency to see Scottish history through a lowland lens… I have, I am ashamed to say, never been to Orkney. But reading Marshall’s book might just tempt me to make the journey'
