- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a wonderfully comic account of a middle aged hard smoking hard drinking woman's attempt to start a new life in the Scottish Highlands. Without the laughs it would have been dark, shocking even (the dog!! the whisky!! the cake!!!) but the author's keen sense of humour means the reader is enveloped in a warm glow and all of that nasty stuff (including some particularly icky relationships) can be safely glided over. I particularly liked the profusion of Scottish dialect - even the stuff I wasn't familiar with, because the meaning was always clear from the context. I wasn't sure what the interlude as a medical rep was all about, as its relevance to the plot seemed vanishingly small - I wondered if it was in some way autobiographical - but either way I'm glad it found its way in, because the account of the conference was laugh out loud funny.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I was initially irritated by the Scots dialect words that kept cropping up but this novel was very funny and had some surprising twists. I enjoyed it far more than the first few pages had lead me to believe I would.
