Description

In a remote Scottish port town, a young woman's life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a manuscript and a disturbing secret left behind by her boyfriend. Faced with an uncertain future, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, adopting his identity and seeking a new existence. This powerful narrative explores themes of identity, alienation, and the search for meaning amidst the stark beauty of the Scottish landscape. Alan Warner's debut novel is a raw and unflinching portrayal of a woman forging her own path in a world that offers little.
