エジンバラでは探偵がある自白に耳を傾け、オークニーでは老人が過去の亡霊と暮らす。アウター・ヘブリディーズでは旅行者が教訓を学び、グラスゴーでは若い女性が役者と会うため策を練る。そしてどこかの小さな町で鳩が死んだ。その風土のように変化に富んだ、スコットランドからの短編集。
In Edinburgh a detective listens to a confession; in Orkney an old man lives with the ghosts of his past. In the Outer Hebrides some travellers learn a lesson; in Glasgow a young woman steals a meeting with a famous actor; and in a small town somewhere a pigeon dies. These stories are as richly varied as the land of Scotland itself. Bookworms World Stories collect stories written in English from around the world. This volume has stories by Scottish writers Eona Macnicol, Malcolm Laing, Ian Rankin, George Mackay Brown, and Susie Maguire. CEFR B1 Word count 11,205
