Description

Only Here, Only Now by Tom Newlands is a vibrant and lyrical debut novel that explores the complexities of poverty, identity, and family. Set against the backdrop of a seaside council estate in Scotland, the story follows Cora Mowat as she navigates her way through adolescence and grapples with her own sense of self.

As Cora's life becomes increasingly chaotic, she finds herself torn between her desire for love, acceptance, and a path forward, and the uncertainty of her future. With a cast of characters that are both flawed and relatable, Newlands crafts a narrative that is both funny and heartbreaking in equal measure.

This extraordinary debut is a testament to the power of storytelling and the resilience of the human spirit. With its unique blend of humor, pathos, and insight, Only Here, Only Now is a worthwhile read for anyone looking to be transported to a forgotten corner of Scotland and introduced to a world of hope and possibility.
