Format:Hardcover
Another cracker by Galloway. This really took me back to my teenage years - so much so that I had really vivid dreams all about my secondary years. This is a magical yet realistic portrayal of a key period of one's life. I read it at a sitting.

I bought this book after it was "book of week" on Radio 4. If you are in your 50's now (I'm 53) you'll appreciate Janice's memoirs. I could not help but compare her to myself.
She recalls many memories of her teenage years spent in Scotland living with her single mother and much older, deeply unpleasant sister. The reader is reminded of "The Slosh", spag bol cooked badly, school, early sexual encounters and later ones (!), fashions, emotions and so much more.
A very enjoyable book, sometimes happy, often sad and thought provoking. Certainly holds the reader's attention.

I had known for a few years that Janice had become a well known Scottish writer, but when I read that "All Made Up" was centered on her time at Ardrossan Academy, I had to read it. I was at the school with Janice and knew her fairly well as well as some of the key characters in her book. It was simply a pleasure to read and it brought back many memories of that time. It also gave me an insight into her character and what she had to deal with as a teenager. I salute her openness and honesty, but then from the Janice Galloway I remember, I would have expected nothing else. A very good read of coming of age in the West of Scotland in the 70s.
