The Incomers (Hollyburn Series)

Praise for The Incomers

“The Incomers is a comment on the universality of prejudice as well as an emotive work of fiction.”

The Herald

“The Incomers is a graceful, searching tale of a stranger in a strange land. Its emotional resonance and narrative sweep fascinate to the end.”

Alan Bissett, author of Boyracers, Death of a Ladies Man, The Moira Monologues and Pack Men.

“Graceful, delicate stuff that masterfully builds as it goes, painting a picture of a time, place and people that is never less than engrossing.”

Before Now: Memoir of a Toerag (Hollyburn Series)

“Ah suppose there’s loads eh stories that ah could stert wi. Lucky escapes ah suppose ye could cry thum. The story eh how ma maw ruined oor lives by draggin us away fae ma da an aw the calamity that followed. But ah cannae tell that just yet.”

Sam and Gavin Smart’s worlds shatter when their maw rips them from the family home on Mother’s Day 1990.

Six years later, Gavin is confined to a room in his granny’s house after breaking a leg. All he wants is to pass his driving theory test and escape the room, instead he writes his memoir of the last six turbulent years. As the memoir progresses more than one person’s story emerges and Gavin realises things have to change.

This coming-of-age story, told entirely in the Fife dialect, is filled with comedy, high pranks and a heavy dose of unintended pathos.

Moira McPartlin’s Before Now exposes the challenges faced by a single parent family in a small mining community in the wake of mass pit closures.

‘A brilliant depiction of family, the highs and lows of growing up, and a wonderful narrator who feels like a friend. I flew through it.’
Ross Sayers, author of Daisy on the Outer Line
