Media Reviews
A sad, brilliant, joyful tribute to the dreams that never make it * * Sunday Express * *
McIlvanney's great skill lies not only in illuminating those fleeting events which hint at, or embody greater truths, but in evoking an entire life within the compass of a few hundred words * * Sunday Times * *
