Sample Book Insights:

#1 Alf Wight was not a Scotsman, as he never lost the soft Glaswegian accent he developed over his twenty-three years in that great Scottish city. He was an Englishman born of English parents in an English town. He was not a Scotsman, and he never spent his entire life as a practicing veterinary surgeon in Yorkshire.

#2 Alf’s mother, Hannah, was a music lover who wanted to improve herself and her family’s situation. She sent her husband to Glasgow in 1914, where he could find work in the shipyards and cinemas.

#3 The family was devastated by the death of Jim’s brother Alfred in the First World War, but his name lived on through Alf. Jim was a quiet, reserved and very gentlemanly man, while Pop was a fanatical football fan and a native of Sunderland.

#4 The Wight family had their first home in Glasgow in 1916, when baby Alfred was barely three weeks old. His happy and fulfilling childhood days in the city resulted in him forever referring to himself as a Glaswegian.
