In the spirited atmosphere of 1960s Glasgow, Frankie and his mates are living it up—or as they’d say, Gein It Laldy. Frankie, effortlessly attractive and brimming with swagger, considers women little more than diversions. But a spontaneous decision one night at the Locarno dance hall leads to consequences he never anticipated. Further rash choices haunt him, culminating in the arrival of Phil, a spectre from his past he can’t shake off.

Tam, Frankie’s friend, grapples with the repercussions of a single, life-altering mistake that has become his daily nightmare. Despite Frankie urging him to get help, salvation comes from the most unexpected of places. But is it already too late?

Gein It Laldy is a compelling exploration of the ripples caused by the choices we make, set against the backdrop of a youthful and bustling Glasgow. It delves into the intricate psychology of its characters while encapsulating the spirit of an era. Navigate the labyrinth of decisions, consequences, and unexpected twists in this gripping novel.

Anne was born and raised in Glasgow. When she married, she moved to Durban, South Africa, along with her husband and daughter, where they lived for 5 years. Her son was born there and shortly afterwards, they returned to Scotland. She also has three grandchildren.
