Presents four different accounts of what it was to be young and growing up in Glasgow and the west of Scotland, from the 1930s to the 1960s. This title tells a story of how its young protagonist eventually succumbs to a culture of drink and violence where the harshness of life on the land sits next to industrial sprawl.
