Meeting The English
by Kate Clanchy (Picador, £7.99)
Anyone who’s ever felt the sharp stab of being an outsider will ache for Struan, a sweet-natured 17-year-old from a small Scottish town thrown headlong into family drama, literary shenanigans and bohemian London in 1989, when he arrives to care for a playwright who’s had a stroke.
This is a spiky coming-of-age tale full of wit and wisdom.
