The grunnit spring : or the Rhynie Station / Ian R. Mitchell.

Glasgow : Stobcross, 2022.

126 pages ; 21 cm.

This novel is written in Doric, the North-east dialectal variant of the Scots language.

Grunnit Spring is a story on the theme of return. It is recounted by an exile of long standing coming back, but not home. Serious and humorous by turns Grunnit Spring deals with the aspirations and hopes of the generation formed by the events of the 1960s. A valediction to the idealism of youth and a crossing of the shadow line to the realities of maturity, the book casts a retrospective gaze onto the social and political world of Aberdeen in the second half of the twentieth century.
