Sobre IBD

The author of this novel lived in Aberdeen for 20 years, and it is very much a celebration of the city, especially places in the centre he knew well. Focusing on the lives and loves of four students over one year, it follows the changing seasons (wet to wetter)of the Granite City. The cover shows Marischal College, part of Aberdeen University, adjoining Upperkirkgate.

It then focuses on the more modern Glengo...
