Media Reviews
If you have not read Jenkins, this witty, affecting novel, which wears its political convictions lightly, is a wonderful place to start. --Financial Times
Author Bio
Robin Jenkins, the author of a number of novels including Childish Things and Just Duffy, is recognized as one of Scotland's greatest writers. The themes of good and evil, of innocence lost, of fraudulence, cruelty, and redemption shine through his work. His novels, shot through with ambiguity, are rarely about what they seem. He published his first book, So Gaily Sings the Lark, at the age of 30, and by the time of his death in 2005, more than 30 of his novels were in print.
