Burials and Other Stories is rooted in Scotland and, in particular, Perthshire, detailing its physical beauty, its history, its people.
Ranging from 1832 to the present day, these twenty-four intertwined stories offer a study of community and kinship, the need to belong and the pain of disconnection.
Burials and Other Stories is, at turns, uproariously funny and devastatingly moving, revealing the complexities of lives spent negotiating with the ghosts of the past, the present and the future.
Suffused with the keen sense of place and historical accuracy for which Rob McInroy's novels are highly-regarded, Burials and Other Stories is a powerful collection of literary short stories. |
