The Stillman

By Tom McCulloch

Jim Drever is a man apart. Twenty years a Still Master at a distillery in the Scottish Highlands, his closest relationship is with the machinery he monitors, and the movies he's obsessed with. It's the worst winter in years and the world is closing in. A strike is looming and his daughter is about to get married. His son's ever-weirder behavior is becoming a worry and his marriage has disintegrated into savage skirmishes with a wife he barely knows. Then the emails start to arrive from Cuba, sending him letters from his dead mother, and Jim can't stay on the sidelines any longer. "A literary masterpiece of a deftly written novel with impressively crafted characters and a complex yet coherent storyline that engages the reader's full attention from beginning to end. . . As memorable as it is entertaining."--The Midwest Book Review, July 2014
