Work:: 'e Polish Quine (S2318963)

Yer hair's as soft an gentle as a thocht God wis. Fin a'm wi ye a dinna hear ae voices, a dinna see ae faces. All there is is ye an me, an we're baith pairt o ae same thing. We're pairt o ae nicht, pairt o ae quietness at surrounds us. Its as if a can only be alone fin a'm wi ye. 1946. David Gordon returns from the war to his family's Aberdeenshire farm, searching for the peace and simplicity of his childhood. He is haunted by the horrors he has witnessed. They return to him in his sleep and in the form of local antipathy towards a refugee Polish family who take the lease on a nearby farm. David establishes the beginnings of a relationship with Anna, the daughter of the Polish family, trying to overcome the psychological damage the war has inflicted on them both. Poetic and moving, 'e Polish Quine explores the themes of war trauma, xenophobia and love.
