Ghost Moon

Having been thrown out onto the Edinburgh streets by her family, Maggie knows she must fight to survive. Many years later, the struggles she had to endure can be kept a secret no longer. Set mostly in post-war Britain and inspired by a real-life story, Ghost Moon is narrated with humour and compassion. A life-affirming read.

Reviews of Ghost Moon

It has become something of a cliche for the reviewer to shake their head in bewilderment at the continued status of Ron Butlin as 'Scotland's Best Kept Literary Secret'. Each new publication adds evidence for Butlin's elevation to the pantheon of recognised Scottish greats and each subsequent book brings further disbelief that this hasn't happened yet. Ghost Moon is no different. — Totoro Gutter: The Magazine of New Scottish Writing
