The House with the Green Shutters is a novel by the Scottish writer George Douglas Brown, first published in 1901 by John MacQueen. Set in mid-19th century Ayrshire, in the fictitious town of Barbie which is based on his native Ochiltree, it consciously violates the conventions of the sentimental kailyard school, and is sometimes quoted as an influence on the Scottish Renaissance.

The novel describes the struggles of a proud and taciturn carrier, John Gourlay, against the spiteful comments and petty machinations of the envious and idle villagers of Barbie (the "bodies"). (Introduction by Wikipedia)

Good book, but not a pleasant one

(4 Sterne)

This is not a nice book, in the usual sense of the word. It traces the slow decline and fall of a family. It's tragic, and brutal, and harsh. However, it's well written, and the reader did an excellent job with the reading and dialect.

This Is A Great Story

A great study in psychology.
