Description
Red Road is Red: A Novel of Glasgow. In 1964, the construction of Red Road flats marked a new era for Glasgow's residents. For those who moved in, it was a symbol of hope and promise. Fast forward to 2010, when the once-thriving scheme was slated for demolition. The people who called Red Road home - asylum seekers and locals alike - left behind a legacy of laughter, life, and drama. Their stories are intertwined by the buildings themselves: the creaky lifts, the sway of the tower blocks in the wind, and the views that inspired both wonder and vertigo. This novel is a subtle yet compelling exploration of Glasgow's history and its people.
