Feels like a new addition to the essential canon of Scottish literature. Stories like this need to be told, and they need to be read, and I’m glad Graeme Armstrong told it so beautifully. His characters and story feels so real because they clearly are, and for that this story is one that is impossible not to connect with and remember for a very long time.
