WEEKENDER - Roland Tye

Set in Edinburgh's 'recent past', Roland Tye's debut novel Weekender follows the intertwined lives of a series of the city's residents. As the life of each very different character touches the next, we move through the weekend discovering a city of contrasts: a city of wealth and poverty, drugs and desire, sex and not a little love, despair and redemption. Yet Weekender is above all a novel that surprises, and it's a book that's guaranteed to generate discussion about favourite characters.
