Books
London, 2000. Fergus MacFarlane is a celebrity Brit-Art photographer partying in noughties London. One night he returns to his beautiful home and beautiful wife to discover ugly cracks in his life - he's falling apart. His past and his present have caught up with him. Who is he? How did he get there? Scotland, 1978. Fergus is eight when his fisherman father drowns off the west coast of Scotland. He is left with his mother in a damp tenement. Fergus escapes the port of Burnoch with its narrow horizons. He goes from schoolboy to ambitious artist, from a squat to a mansion, from Hebridean islands to Hoxton galleries, from Presbyterianism to Hedonism. Why did Fergus run from his past? And how does he get back?
