I loved it because it’s the history of Scotland since the 1950s although it does dip back into some old soldiers’ World War 2 experiences. (You can read Jack’s much fuller review here.) It’s written in six parts and it involves quite a lot of characters who at times don’t seem to have anything to do with each other but their stories all link up eventually. ![]() It was first published in 2010 and it’s quite a chunkster at 671 pages. It was Jack who recommended that I should read And the Land Lay Still by James Robertson, he thought it was great, and I have to agree. ![]()
