What if going back was the only way of going forward?

Rocked by a terrible accident, homeless Kelly needs to escape the cold streets of Glasgow. Maybe she doesn’t believe in serendipity, but a rare moment of kindness and a lost ring conspire to call her home. As Kelly vows to reunite the ring with its owner, she must return to the small town she fled so many years ago.

On her journey from Glasgow to the south-west tip of Scotland, Kelly encounters ancient pilgrim routes, hostile humans, hippies, book lovers and a friendly dog, as memories stir and the people she thought she’d left behind forever move closer with every step.

Loved the gifted use of language and the gritty story. Appreciated that there was no big bow tied at the end. Enjoyed the history of Scotland and the interesting and challenging story lines including a well known Glasgow incident. Genius Campbell who never fails to entertain.

Overall not a bad story and I liked the narration but there were a few things I found disappointing and unrealistic which I can’t go into here because they would be spoilers.

Mmmmm
