Night Song of the Last Tram : A Glasgow Childhood

About this book

A wonderfully colourful and deeply poignant memoir of growing up in a single end - one room in a Glasgow tenement - during and immediately after the Second World War. Although young Robert Douglass life was blighted by the cruel if sporadic presence of his father it was equally blessed by the love of his mother Janet. While the story of their life together is in some ways very sad it is also filled with humorous and happy memories. Night Song of the Last Tram is a superb evocation of childhood and of a Glasgow of trams and tenements that has long since disappeared.
