From the jacket:-
'Jackie Kay tells the story of a black girl's adoption by a white Scottish couple - from three different viewpoints: the mother, the birth mother and the daughter. This unique and honest volume of poems has been adapted for radio. Also included in the book are new poems reflecting issues of sexuality, Scottishness and baieng working class' - Spare Rib

I used this book as part of my studies for my MA in Womens' Studies and enjoyed the poems.

I have to say i found this pretty hard going what with having to remember who was saying what, but once i got to grips with that, it is thoroughly enjoyable, and a great idea to have the story told from 3 different viewpoints.

Will make sure this gets passed on soon :o)
