Product Description
Review
'WEEKEND builds layer upon layer, beguiling the reader as it surges into something transcendental...challenging, illuminating and thought-provoking'
(Irvine Welsh, Guardian )'A poignantly funny variation on a French farce...wonderfully witty and wistful'
(Daily Mail )'WEEKEND is Chekhovian in its unspoken moments and hard-won affirmations' (Daily Telegraph )
'So accomplished and thoughtful, so maturely reflective and insightful, it rises triumphantly to match, and possibly exceed, his work that came before.'
(Herald )'Everything in the novel is illuminated by the play of a subtle, sceptical and yet affirmative intelligence...remarkable'
(Allan Massie, Scotland on Sunday )Daily Mail

Format:Paperback
Although very different from his earlier work, this is a fine novel from the finest Scottish writer of our generation.
Well worth reading!

Format:Paperback
Nothing really happens in this book at all and you think something dramatic is going to happen at the end. Nope! It doesn't even finished will a full stop. The last word is "when " Like that makes sense. For someone who is one of the best Scottish writers of our age it's a real paper-weight.. FULL STOP!!

McIlvanney's Weekend
6 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wm McIlvanney's books are some of my favourites. This was perhaps no one of his best (not up to his Laidlaw series), but still an enjoyable read.
