At the end of 1903, in a tough, working-class town in the West of Scotland, Tam Docherty's youngest son, Conn is born. Tam is determined that life and the pits c won't swallow up his boy the way it has him. Courageous and questioning, Docherty emerges as a leader of almost indomitable strength, but in a close-knit community tradition is a powerful opponent.

Review:
'Here a human history is mined with humour and a clenching sense of its sombre inequities: man's squat but lengthening shadow in the sun' ( Guardian )

'He has a hard muscular quality to his writing. Some of his phrases hammer against you like a collier's pick.' ( The Times )

'An intense, witty and beautifully wrought novel' ( Daily Telegraph )
Book Description:

Winner of the Whitbread Novel of the Year Award
