Close Quarters by Angus McAllister
5.0
This book falls into the rare category of laugh out loud funny - particularly if you have ever lived in, or know people from, Glasgow.
The characters are so realistic and I could visualise people who they were similar to in my own life. Bain is a horrible man who has made the lives of those around him a misery for decades. With each story he becomes more abhorrent. There are many serious parts too which gives it depth.
The writing techniques, including letters between the tenants, lawyers and so on make it even more interesting. I am very pleased my local Waterstones had this on a separate display table and drew my attention to it!
