Happy St Andrews Day! Were celebrating some great Scots with these contemporary Scottish favourites from @waterstones MAYFLIES by @andrewohaganauthor : Ever wondered how the wild youth of the 1980's might grow up? This stunning, wild portrait of rebellious nights in Irvine and Manc in the 80's explores the friendships formed around music and booze, and the effect these bonds have on the rest of our lives. SCABBY QUEEN by @kirstin.innes : A heartbreaking and chaotic portrait of five decades of life in Scotland through the experiences of one woman, painting the question "who was Clio Campbell, and why should we care?". Fiercely feminist and utterly amazing! THE YOUNG TEAM by @graeme_armstrong_booksnthat : this searing portrait of postcode gang life, lost youth, violence and redemption.DUCK FEET by @ely_percy : an authentic and hilarious portrait of life in working-class Scottish school (Renfrew Grammar), tracking the highlight moments of life from First to Sixth Year. Written in Scots and hailed as "Derry Girls for Renfrewshire" SHUGGIE BAIN by @douglas_stuart : Booker Winner & Waterstones Scottish Book of the Year 2020, Shuggie almost needs no introduction - 1980's, Glasgow, the relationship of a boy with his alcoholic mother. Heartbreaking, ruthless, and utterly beautiful#standrewsday #waterstones #scottishliterature #scottishfiction #mayflies #theyoungteam #scabbyqueen #duckfeet #ShuggieBain #scottishbooks
