Kevin MacNeil recommends
John of John (2026)
Douglas Stuart
"This is literary phenomenon Douglas Stuart's finest novel yet, and that is saying something. Stuart stacks achievement upon achievement like stones on a towering cairn: he infuses his narrative with an authentic understanding of the essence of Hebridean identity; he creates a novel that has the grandeur of classical literature but the readability and relatability of a contemporary masterpiece; he brings to life a most astute understanding of individual psychology, community relationships, and everyday living in a geographically and culturally distinctive place. The novel weaves its generous, impassioned, transfixing way towards a breathless and unpredictable conclusion. Epic and intimate, this is the kind of novel that enlarges your very capacity for empathy."
The Old Haunts (2023)
(Fairlight Moderns)
Allan Radcliffe
"A rippling, multifaceted jewel of a novel - Poignant and compelling, it is resonant with vivid images."
The Tick and the Tock of the Crocodile Clock (2022)
Kenny Boyle
"Playful, witty and poignant - a refreshing new voice in Scottish literature."
