Just started this novel by David Greig, which has me intrigued and hooked already. Another great Scottish based read to get immersed in.

Just completed this mesmerising novel by @newlands.bsky.social
Each chapter draws you in with a descriptive narrative that flows with each page turn.
Sometimes on reading other author work my imposter syndrome kicks in,this book also inspires me to do better. A fantastic piece of writing.

I'm heading away for a while, so I couldn't commit but would donate a few copies of my first book. If that would be of interest, Neil.

As we approach the 40th anniversary of Live Aid, why not take a nostalgic trip back to Paisley, Glasgow (and Greenock), London, Berlin, and 1985 with Cal Lynch
It all happened... honestly...

Tomorrow, the truth is waiting for you...

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.
