The Lonely Shore

(1999)
A novel by

 
 
Beautiful evocation of a young woman's coming-of-age in 1920s Glasgow. The story of Sarah, a young woman quietly rebelling against the stifling respectability of 1920s Glasgow, caught in between middle-class aspirations and the need to earn her own living, her longings for romance and a family, and the prohibitions society placed upon single women. Gorgeous period detail combines with humour, tragedy and great depth of characterisation. This is popular storytelling of the highest quality.
