A major new novel about the scottish way of death, from one of Glasgow's most accomplished writters. Alan Spence's first book, a volume of stories called its colours thay are fine won him great praise and has remasined in print since first publication, popular in schools and colleges in Scotland for its straightforward but vibrant view of life in the Glasgow vernacular. His long awaited new novel, way to go lifts the lids on the Glasgow undertaking industry and continues his striking, bleaky funny explorations of the themes of spirituality and emotional salvation.
