A Gift from Nessus Reviews

There is a sense of moral growth in A Gift from Nessus that lifts it out of the ordinary . . . almost frighteningly truthful and moving * * The Times * *
McIlvanney is a compassionate writer and leaves an impression both of high seriousness and great charm * * Sunday Telegraph * *
William McIlvanney paints a world of harsh reality, but does so in language that is strangely beautiful and hauntingly poetic -- Craig Russell
