The Mile
Set one week before the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, this novel tells the story of three main characters: a nationalist, a unionist and a swing-voter, on their alcohol-fuelled travels through the pubs of Edinburgh. The question is raised of whether these three can reach a consensus on the future of Scotland, and if they can be persuaded to unite and vote ‘yes’ despite their many differences.
