The Next Stop Is Croy and other stories: fancy doing a review on Goodreads?

The Next Stop Is Croy and other storiesThe Next Stop Is Croy and other stories by Andrew McCallum Crawford

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It might be a bit cheeky of me to review this book - after all, I wrote it. However, reader reviews have just started coming in on Amazon, so I thought I'd paste some excerpts here.



"...takes the reader straight to the bittersweet spot of the human condition...the writer manages to distil a lifetime into the spoken (and unspoken) language of fathers and sons..................the humour and veracity of Scottish life is laid bare..................Andrew's new collection is like finding a flower sprouting out of cracked concrete..."
