One Summer: Large Print Edition
Nathan Forrest is a lapsed Catholic, a welder, an illegitimate son, and a gifted jazz trumpeter. After he begins pursuing Dorothy - a Protestant girl from a middle-class family - they face the antagonism of mid-20th century Scotland. Against a backdrop of decaying Westburn's doomed shipyards and bitter environment, the young lovers seek to escape the contraints of prejudice and hate. But is their love and determination enough to bring them happiness, or will religious and social conflict consume them both? This is the large print edition of One Summer, with a larger font / typeface for easier reading.

Good read.... Reflections of our parents
Mom n dad courted and married in the late 1950s. They had different challenges and struggles from the story in the book, but I still see reflections of them in this story. Loss, regain, struggles and resolution. A light read, good building of characters... And some historical back drop. Thx
