Burials and Other Stories is a short story collection rooted in Scotland and, in particular, Perthshire, detailing its physical beauty, its history, its people.
Ranging from 1832 to the present day, these 20 intertwined stories offer a study of community and kinship, the need to belong and the pain of disconnection, revealing the complexities of lives spent negotiating with the ghosts of the past, the present and the future.
Meticulously researched and crafted, the stories give a detailed insight into life in a rural community, while maintaining strong historical accuracy. Many of the stories feature accurate usage of the Scots language.
