A Capital Union Avis

'A super Scottish novel (and a bold first book) that should have been rewarded; brilliantly researched with an interesting political theme (the SNP in wartime) - mainly set in Edinburgh during the Second World War. A curious and readable mix of the romantic and the hard-edged.' --Alan Warner, Books of the Year selection in Herald Scotland. 'Startlingly accomplished ... Victoria Hendry's impressive debut novel wastes no words. The voice of her young narrator is brisk and assured, like youth itself ... As the story gathers momentum so does Hendry's prose, raising itself to poetry as her heroine confronts that famous tension within Scots and Scotland which many of us recognise.' --Julie Davidson, Sunday Herald. 'A novel of great intelligence and fluency whose finely drawn characters challenge conventional perceptions of nationality and identity.' --Margaret Elphinstone. 'A deftness of touch - A historically illuminating novel, compelling page-turner - from a fresh and accomplished new voice.' Krikitus. Blackwell's Scottish Book of the Month, September 2013. The Herald's Paperback of the Week.
