Description
Night Song of the Last Tram is a poignant and colourful memoir of growing up in a Glasgow tenement during and after the Second World War. The story of Robert Douglas's childhood is marked by both sadness and humour, as he navigates the complexities of family life.
Set against the backdrop of a bygone era, this book is a superb evocation of childhood and of a Glasgow that has long since disappeared. The author's love of his mother, Janet, and his own resilience in the face of adversity shine through on every page.
This is a deeply personal and moving account of one man's experiences, offering a unique glimpse into a forgotten era of Glasgow's history.
