Opis: Docherty - William McIlvanney

At the end of 1903, in a tough, working-class town in the West of Scotland, Tam Docherty's youngest son, Conn is born. Tam is determined that life and the pits won't swallow up his boy the way it has him. Courageous and questioning, Docherty emerges as a leader of almost indomitable strength, but in a close-knit community tradition is a powerful opponent. 'Here a human history is mined with humour and a clenching sense of its sombre inequities: man's squat but lengthening shadow in the sun' -- Guardian 'He has a hard muscular quality to his writing. Some of his phrases hammer against you like a collier's pick.' -- The Times 'An intense, witty and beautifully wrought novel' -- Daily Telegraph
