Here we are in Wigtown again in Scotland's biggest second-hand bookshop. If you enjoyed Shaun Bythell's sagas (bwl 95, 97 & 99) this memoir by his American girlfriend fills in those missing blanks. Romantic, exhuberant given to much introspection, it is not hard to understand why dour, dithering Bythell could not live up to her dream and fell so far short of her expectations. An entertaining read though there were moments when I wanted to shake her for being so needy!
