'A wonderful reconstruction of small-town Scotland in the 1970s, a hymn to teenage innocence and an elegy for old industries and the men who worked in them - his best yet'
Glasgow Herald
For 16-year-old Simon Crimmons there is not a lot to do. Going nowhere, fed up with school, he leaves to work as a driver on the trains. That summer he is introduced to a world of grown-up glamour, strikes and girlfriends. When Simon falls for the ethereal, aristocratic Varie, he finds freedom and adventure but will it be at a price? Too 'posh' for the railways, too 'working class' for Varie, Simon must navigate what it means to be a man as his world is turned upside down.
'The prose achieves rhythms and textures of ecstatic beauty, the images are often mesmerising'
Sunday Times
'A delight: a boisterous, kindly, deep, sweet romp of a thing'
Scotsman
'This is the best Scottish fiction since Lanark'
Scottish Review of Books
