Summary

A vividly realised portrait of class, love, and womanhood in mid-twentieth century Scotland, told in Strachan's subtle and delicate prose. Spanning the 1930s to the 1960s, it is a realised portrait of class, ambition and womanhood in a rapidly changing Scotland. Told in Strachan's subtle and delicate prose, it tells the story of Rena - ambitious, attractive, and determined to see her family escape their shameful past. A new town offers a chance at the respectability and independence she craves, but is it enough? When she marries Bobby Young - charming, cosmopolitan and haunted by his own memories - doors begin to open for the couple. Together, they could make their mark on the world, or lose everything they have.
