โฆ Synopsis
Avram Escovitz dreams of playing football for Celtic, but war intervenes, forcing him to leave the tightly knit Jewish community of Glasgow's Gorbals to work as a credit draper, peddling goods to the crofters and villages of the West Highlands. This very original debut novel is not only a book about a stranger in a strange land, but also about whisky, football and waterproof clothing. And romance across the cultural divide.
