The Incomers
by Moira McPartlin

When Ellie Amadi and her son Nat leave home in West Africa to join her white husband James in the Fife mining village of Hollyburn she knows she will face many challenges. What Ellie fails to realize is that her greatest challenge will arrive at her door in the guise of two ten year old school girls.

Set in 1966, The Incomers draws on deep parallels between the cultures of West Africa and Scotland and provides a fascinating insight into the prejudice an African woman encounters on marrying a white Scot and settling in a small Fife village.

“A graceful, searching tale of a stranger in a strange land. Its emotional resonance and narrative sweep fascinate to the end”
Alan Bissett , author of Pack Men and The Moira Monologues

Vote for Malcolm "Life Behind Bars: Confessions of a Pub Landlady"
by Kate McGregor & Linda Tweedie

This hilariously funny collection of (mostly true) tales will have your sides splitting as Kate and Linda recount some of their most memorable experiences as pub landladies. Having spent over 25 years in the licensed trade, the only disappointment is that the book does not contain more!
