Bought y my mum. She read t years ago and has never forgotten it. She wanted to read it again. She would have preferred it on kindle so she could expand the text.Also she sai sometimes it seems like there is a lot of local words used but that you can usually understand their meaning from the context. From what she has told me it sounds interesting and would possibly make a good film. I thinkI will read when she has finished it. A good portrayal of a time and era from what I understand.

I read this book a long time ago and thought it worth an other read, as I was born in the Gorbals at the end of the war in Thistle Street. Near Calidonia Road. It is interesting and does remind me of the slums we lived in.
