Great Family Story -- Funny and Sad

I picked up this book at a yard sale and what a find! This true story is written in such a vivid and articulate way -- you are instantly transported to Glasgow of the '50's on an intimate and unforgettable journey. It's tough to write a book about your life and be able to "report the facts" in an accessible way but Meg Henderson has done it. This book chronicles an era and makes you really care about the people in the story -- the members of the author's family are etched in my mind now and I feel much richer for it. Thanks for this book, Meg!
