Midnight

by Moira Burgess

A bedsitter house in Glasgow; a Highland loch reputed to be bottomless; the first performance of the short stories which Moira Burgess has chosen for her first collection range widely in location and situation, while her central characters include a woman who hates her mother, a divorced father who can't get it right in the eyes of his son, and a rough sleeper on a Glasgow wasteground. Abrasive, subtle and compassionate, these stories will linger in your mind long after you close the book.
