Growing Up In The West - Gordon M. Williams - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Growing Up In The West - Gordon M. Williams - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

Edwin Muir - POOR TOM, J.F. Hendry - FERNIE BRAE, Gordon M. Williams - FROM SCENES LIKE THESE, Tom Gallacher - APPRENTICE. Growing Up in the West presents four very different and memorably vivid accounts of what it was to be young and growing up in Glasgow and the west of Scotland, from the 1930s to the 1960s. Poor Tom tells of a young man''s struggle to come to terms with the slow death of his brother in the city slums of a culturally impoverished Scotland. Fernie Brae celebrates the growth and education of a sensitive in a novel reminiscent of Joyce''s Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man . Gordon Williams''s novel tells a grimmer story as its young protagonist eventually succumbs to a culture of drink and violence where the harshness of life on the land sits next to industrial sprawl: ''From scenes like these old Scotia''s grandeur springs.'' Set in the Clydeside shipyards, the wryly observant and humorous style of Apprentice strikes a happier note from the 1960s.

Skeleton Plot - J.m. Gregson - Bog - Canongate Books - Plusbog.dk

"Exceptional ... Not a clue is out of place. This entry could be a primer on how to write a police procedural" Publishers Weekly Starred Review Skeletons have a habit of revealing themselves eventually . . . When a human skeleton is discovered on the boundary of a 20-year-old property development, it seems there are a large number of people who may know the identity of the corpse and how it got there. But twenty years is a long time and those individuals were very different people back then. Skeletons are being revealed in all senses and there are many prominent local figures who are beginning to feel uncomfortable and afraid. It''s up to Detective Chief Superintendent Lambert and Detective Sergeant Hook to dig around in the past and unearth the truth of how and why the body ended up buried in the ground all those years ago.
