a fantastic, complex read - it's a big book at over 670 pages, but I loved it. At times I was peering at the author photograph to see if I might have come across James Robertson at some point, as the characters were so real that I think we must know people in common - not to my knowledge though!

An amazing book about Scotland in the second half of the 20th century.
