Weekend

In a Victorian mansion hotel on a Scottish island, a group of English Literature lecturers and students from Glasgow gather for a residential weekend. The weekend proves to be a major turning point in the emotional lives of several people – just not quite in the way any of them expected.

Reviews of Weekend

* The great McIlvanney themes – class, guilt, the power of the book, the difficulty of goodness – are all there, seething under the surface — Stuart Kelly Daily Telegraph * Remarkable … everything in the novel is illuminated by the play of a subtle, sceptical and yet affirmative intelligence — Allan Massie Scotland on Sunday * Wonderfully witty and wistful Daily Mail * William McIlvanney paints a world of harsh reality, but does so in language that is strangely beautiful and hauntingly poetic — Craig Russell
