Summary

Part coming of age, part road-trip, written in Lanarkshire dialect; the story is from point of view of a fifteen year old lassie called Erin. This is the second edition of the novel; the first edition was longlisted in MsLexia's 2013 First Novel Competition. Ma Mum & William Wordsworth is a book about grief but also about making a way and finding a voice when you're young and working class and happen to like poetry; it's about when a parent dies and caregiving roles shift. It’s a story rooted deeply in its setting in Scotland, firstly in Lanarkshire and then in Glasgow.
