“Seldom does such a short book deliver such surprising delights as the new The Book of I, Scottish playwright David Grieg’s first novel. Set in 825 on the tiny Scottish island of I—the original name of what is now known as Iona—it is as fresh and charming as any contemporary work this critic has read in ages... The Book of I deals with questions of faith and friendship, love and loyalty, and all the major themes that a novel starting with a slaughter and ending with, well, something close to redemption should tackle. But, along its way, the narrative is bloody and sharp and laugh-out-loud funny, with touches of poetry that flow as naturally as the tides.”
