5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, Peerless Book, 3 Aug 2008
I read this in 1983, whiling away a few empty hours in the sadly demised Stirling Library in Glasgow.

It's a beautiful, touching collection of stories, apparently autobiographical, which conjure up a working-class Glasgow still very much industrially focussed. Kibble Palace and other stories bring the city to life, and the characters move you to laughter and tears in equal measure. Blue in particular is stunning.

When I moved to London a few years later, when I was homesick I read this.....no other book reminds you of home, and community, like it. Every Glaswegian should read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A marvellous book., 27 Aug 2000
I have read both Alan Spence's novels and his later book of short stories but this is the book (first published in 1997 and his first work) where he hits perfection. I have never read a better depiction of the Glasgow that I knew.
