Klarna Logo Png Klarna The Silver Darlings. The Silver Darlings is a tale of lives hard won from a cruel sea and crueller landlords. It tells of strong young men and stronger women whose loves, fears and sorrows are set deep in a landscape of raw beauty and bleak reward. The dawning of the Herring Fisheries brought with it the hope of escape from the brutality of the Highland Clearances. Neil Gunn's story paints a vivid picture of a community fighting against nature and history and refusing to be crushed.
