«The Testament of Gideon Mack» is the literary fiction novel by James Robertson, published by Penguin Books in paperback (400 pages, in English).
Gideon Mack, a Scottish minister without faith, an unfaithful husband and a tormented soul, believes in neither God nor the devil. After falling down a ravine, he is rescued by a stranger who might be Satan. His testament, a found manuscript mixing memory, legend, history and perhaps madness, recounts his crisis, disappearance, resurrection and death.
Set in Scotland, the novel was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and originally published in 2006.
For readers of literary fiction and Scottish gothic, interested in plots about faith, doubt and the supernatural.
