This Bright Life - in conversation with Karen Campbell | The Wee Bookshop
May 1, 2025 (UTC+1)ENDED

This Bright Life
A young boy.
A single mistake.
Many lives changed forever.
Gerard’s twelve. He’s a bright kid, but trouble seems to follow him. No one knows what it’s like at home, or the load he carries on his small shoulders.
Gerard doesn’t always make good decisions. And one spring morning, he makes a really bad one — one that will upend his life — and crash into the worlds of two women caught in the chaos. For Margaret, the shocking incident brings her back from the edge of grief; for Claire it’s the start of a new friendship that she desperately needs to propel her forward.
As summer progresses, Gerard faces a bewildering stream of concerned adults clutching files, unfamiliar streets to navigate, a strange bed to sleep in, and the very real chance he won’t see his wee brother and sister again.
Heartbreaking, and yet brimful of humour, compassion and hope,
This Bright Life
is a story about messy lives, second chances and the many hands it takes to build a boy.

The Bridge Between Worlds - an evening with Dr Gavin Francis | The Wee Bookshop
May 20, 2025 (UTC+1)ENDED
Dollar
Award-winning author and Edinburgh-based GP Gavin Francis’s
The Bridge Between Worlds
is the latest in a very diverse non-fiction back catalogue, from travel writing to medical memoirs.
In The Bridge Between Worlds, Gavin Francis explores bridges old and new, man-made or natural, musing on the view from the bridge through history, geopolitics, psychology and literature. Against the ever-growing obsession with national borders in politics and the media, bridges – whether seen as functional, emblematic or aesthetical – both unite and divide us. From the Tweed to the Thames, Bosnia to Brooklyn, Singapore to Siberia, The Bridge Between Worlds reflects on the bridges between nations and individuals, how they act as frontiers and reflects on the lives of people either side of the border.
Francis is a thoughtful and engaging writer, his prose has a lightness of touch which is a delight to read. He explores how we might better think of a connected world, and the empathy and conciliation that that might engender, demonstrating what the building of bridges has meant to our civilisation, how crossings can enrich our lives, and the price we pay when we tear them down.
'Gavin Francis has written an exquisite book on a structure we usually take for granted. This is a fascinating and delightful read.'
Alexander McCall Smith
'
Informative, imaginative and hugely enjoyable. Who knew? A bridge can take you anywhere!'
Sara Wheeler
Gavin Francis is a wonderful writer - thoughtful, engaging, immensely knowledgeable and supremely human.'
Bill Bryson
