Book Overview


Meet the Clanswomen...

International bestselling authors Jenny Colgan, Isla Dewar, and Muriel Gray lead off this dazzling collection of stories by popular and rising Scottish women authors. A sometimes wild, sometimes poignant romp through the lives of Scotswomen, Scottish Girls About Town revels in the universal hilarity and strife of being a girl
They're looking for something moor.
In Jenny Colgan's "The Fringes," a hapless heroine heads to the Edinburgh "Fringe" -- a massive theatrical and musical festival -- for a night of her own disastrous drama. Isla Dewar offers up "In the Garden of Mrs. Pink," one woman's look back at her girlhood and the life lessons she learned from an eccentric neighbor. In Muriel Gray's "School-Gate Mums," a single mother with killer instincts settles the score with one of the mothers at her son's school. Whether they're racing their flatmates in a weight-loss contest, reconnecting with long-lost friends, or grappling with the men in their lives, these daughters of Scotland prove that no one can top their audacious spirit and Highland charm.

The Standouts: In the Garden of Mrs. Pink by Isla Dewar. Charming...

I was given this collection as a gift after a great trip to Scotland. I was surprised when what I expected would be a so-so "chick-lit" read turned out to be a sampling of mostly accomplished stories that often went far beyond the limited chick-lit plotlines. I was totally baffled when I read the comments of the previous reviewer, and I completely disagree. The reviewer makes the stories sound like a collection of frustrating...

Extremely Enjoyable

Having read and enjoyed "Irish Girls About Town" I picked this book up without a thought the other day. I'm three-quarters of the way through it, and have enjoyed every story except one, which was written in a Scottish brogue (complete with dialect) which made it a rather difficult read. And not only are the stories good, but the proceeds go towards benefiting womens charities in Scotland. Good book for a good cause!
