Though his wife, Mary, has serious misgivings about the errand, he decides to go anyway, setting in motion a chain of events that neither he nor Mary could have predicted. Shortly after John reaches the island, he falls down a cliff and is found, unconscious and badly injured, by Ivar who takes him home and tends to his wounds. The two men do not speak a common language, but as John builds a dictionary of Ivar's world, they learn to communicate and, as Ivar sees himself for the first time in decades reflected through the eyes of another person, they build a fragile, unusual connection. Unfolding in the 1840s in the final stages of the infamous Scottish Clearances--which saw whole communities of the rural poor driven off the land in a relentless program of forced evictions--this singular, beautiful, deeply surprising novel explores the differences and connections between us, the way history shapes our deepest convictions, and how the human spirit can survive despite all odds. Moving and unpredictable, sensitive and spellbinding, Clear is a profound and pleasurable read."--Publisher's website 650 0 $a Eviction $z Scotland $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Hermits $z Scotland $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Rural poor $z Scotland $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Expulsion (Droit) $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z EÌcosse $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476738 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $y 19e sieÌcle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378908 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Ermites $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z EÌcosse $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476738 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 650 6 $a Pauvres en milieu rural $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $z EÌcosse $0 (CaQQLa)201-0476738 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 651 0 $a Scotland $x History $y 19th century $v Fiction. 651 6 $a EÌcosse $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 $x Histoire $0 (CaQQLa)201-0106741 $y 19e sieÌcle $0 (CaQQLa)201-0106741 $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0377299 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Romans. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000475 941 $a 9 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20240509013534.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240504010024.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240503010546.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20240502011144.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240502010553.0 952 $l NEPC953 $d 20240415130625.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012940.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240402012851.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240402012147.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=927EB5EAF0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
