Book: Scottish girls about town
Summary:This anthology presents a collection of new stories from bestselling Scottish writers.
What I thought: I don't normally read short stories but this collection was perfect for my occasional lunch time read. Like all short stories some were hit and miss but these were more hit than miss. Hmm, maybe Irish girls next!
Book: Ugly
Summary: Constance's mother systematically abused her daughter throughout her childhood. Regularly beaten and starved, she tried to get herself taken into care without success and even drank bleach. When she was 13, her mother left her to fend for herself but Constance found the courage to survive and this is her story.
What I thought: Great read - yet very sad. Would be interesting to hear what her sisters say of their upbringing too.
