Review:
"A delight: a boisterous, kindly, deep, sweet romp of a thing" * Scotsman * "Absolutely beautiful... As far as I'm concerned he's emerging as the William Faulkner of British fiction: somebody who's created a body of work that has not only animated a language but a period and a place... He has this incredible talent" -- Andrew O'Hagan "This is the best Scottish fiction since Lanark" * Scottish Review of Books * "Morally sensitive, exquisitely written and emotionally mature" * Guardian * "If you still haven't read it from last year, Alan Warner's The Deadman's Pedal was out in paperback in this. Read it" -- Janice Galloway * Scotsman *
