JUST GO IN: from council estate to country estate
An idealist 17 year old sets off from a council estate near Glasgow to become a farm secretary on the large farms and estates of the East of Scotland. She encounters a clash of culture, prejudice and unexpected kindness along the haphazard and emotionally fraught journey. A social memoir spanning the late 70s to the early 90s.
'Humour is difficult to pull off in writing and even more difficult when I’m judging it because it is what I do for a living – occasionally. The chapter, A Toe in the Line is a beautiful journey into the world of inexorable error after inexorable error, as the day goes from bad to worse for 18 year old Hazel Cameron as she heads off to a job interview. Life is often stranger than fi ction, and this story shows the fi ne line that is walked in relating true events whilst maintaining a believability.’Hardeep Singh Kohli
