• Giorgio M.

  Brown's book is an anthology of stories that play with the realms of riotous laughter and sonority. There is a short story that every Glasgow person can relate to. Brown recreates Glasgow settings in a way that transcends time. His narratives are genuinely unpredictable, with his prose exceptionally eloquent. His tonal shifts are expertly maneuvered and his poetic speech shines. The book is an emblem of the humor and spirit of Glasgow and the nature of its people.

  Great stories, a great buy.

• Alan M.

  Thoroughly enjoyed this book. Stories possibly portraying local people though their names have been changed, obviously. Local people's lives explored through the eyes of a local man, Willie Brown has excelled in his first book. Great read. Thank you.

• MISS ALISON CLARK

  I love this book, you can always picture someone you know as one of his characters. An easy, funny, heartwarming read. I will read it over and over.

• Aislinn Manzi

  The writer has conveyed his fun, Glaswegian sense of humor through witty, lighthearted plots and perfectly contrasted this to a deeper, reflective perspective of local life and people in emotive storylines. Would highly recommend this book and look forward to seeing what Willie Brown writes next!

  I like the short stories each one stands alone and is compelling to read. Feeling sorry Happy and cheering the Characters some of whom like them met in my life. It's stories of real people you come to care about.

  A fine ensemble of short stories epitomizes the people of Glasgow. There will be tears, there will be heartache and there will be laughter (sometimes in the same paragraph!). This collection is well-written and will have the reader wanting more. |well done Mr. Brown.

  A must-read a collection of stories about folks and their life experiences written with humour, and in a way that brings the characters and scenes alive.
