Night Song of the Last Tram

This book was recommended to me when I was in Northumbria last year on business. When I returned home to Seattle I ordered it. It is a beautiful yet unvarnished description of growing up in Maryhill. I spent part of my childhood there in the late 50's and will never forget it. A terrific read!

Night Song Of The Last Tram

This exquisite book was sent to me by a cousin-we were both born in Glasgow in the 1920's-1930's. I could only agree with the commentaries that are part of the book. It brings back many memories but only if you grew up in Glasgow. I would love to be in touch with the author just for a chit-chat. That might not be possible, I suppose. Privacy at work! David A. W.
