About this listen

What if going back was the only way of going forward?

Rocked by a terrible accident, homeless Kelly needs to escape the cold streets of Glasgow. Maybe she doesn’t believe in serendipity, but a rare moment of kindness and a lost ring conspire to call her home. As Kelly vows to reunite the ring with its owner, she must return to the small town she fled so many years ago.

On her journey from Glasgow to the south-west tip of Scotland, Kelly encounters ancient pilgrim routes, hostile humans, hippies, book lovers and a friendly dog, as memories stir and the people she thought she’d left behind forever move closer with every step.

Beautiful poetic and heart achingly brilliant story. And so perfectly narrated too. Loved the premise and following the heroines journey through her tortured life’s experiences.

Stunning read

A great story about an area none of us really want to know about.

Sensitively written, with an insight into another world which it seems the author has thoroughly researched at a grass roots level. Letting us know what really counts when you are in the streets.

My only issue was that it took a bit of time to get into, but I think that’s just me.

The narration was outstanding

I wasn’t sure about the story at first as it was a little slow to get going but was glad I gave it time because really enjoyed it in the end. I do love a Scottish accent. Nice that it seemed to be read by a native rather than someone trying to mimic the accent.

A slow burn but a great story in the end
