Revue de presse

"Intense, witty and beautifully wrought" (Telegraph)

"He has a hard muscular quality to his writing . . . His phrases hammer against you like a collier's pick" (The Times)

"Here a human history is mined with humour and a clenching sense of its sombre inequities: man's squat but lengthening shadow in the sun" (Guardian) --Guardian

"William McIlvanney paints a world of harsh reality, but does so in language that is strangely beautiful and hauntingly poetic. His work defies pigeonholing in any genre: this is simply great writing from a master of his craft" (CRAIG RUSSELL) --Craig Russell

"A serious, considered and achingly sympathetic engagement with the people whose only trace in historical record is birth and dead notices" (Scotsman) --Scotsman
