Description
Docherty lies vulnerable between his parents in their tenement room, a raw and unformed life. Yet, as he gazes out at the world, Conn Docherty's father Tam has made a decision: his son's life will be different from his own.
Set against the gritty backdrop of small-town Scotland, William McIlvanney's novel is a dark and tender tale of one man's struggle to forge a new path. With unflinching honesty, McIlvanney explores the complexities of human relationships and the search for identity in a rapidly changing world.
This powerful and moving novel has become a modern classic, offering a searing portrayal of life in a forgotten corner of Scotland.
