The Glasgow to Galilee Trilogy
While The Credit Draper stands as a novel in its own right, it is also the first part of a loose trilogy incorporating two other novels, The Liberation of Celia Kahn and The Land Agent, also published by Saraband. The three books can be read separately and in any order.
An Exquisite Sense of What Is Beautiful
An eminent British writer returns to the resort hotel in Japan where he once spent a beautiful, snowed-in winter. It was there he fell in love and wrote a best-selling novel accusing America of being in denial about the horrific destruction during World War II. As we learn more, however, we realise that he too is in denial, and that his past is now rapidly catching up with him. A sweeping novel of East and West, love and war, truth and delusion.
