Meg Henderson - The Holy City - Black and White Publishing

The Holy City is Meg Henderson’s hugely absorbing story of a working class Clydeside community. It tells the story of Marion McLeod, the daughter of a riveter, who has been brought up in the Clydebank tenements and brings the horror and pain of these wartime experiences vividly to life as she loses her entire family in the Blitz.

Praise for The Holy City:

The Holy City is a novel about growing up in a close-knit blue-collar community from the Twenties up to the present day... showing the true meaning of community with convincing, colourful characters. --Scotland on Sunday

[Henderson] mingles fact and fiction to moving effect - her account of the Blitz on Clydebank and its aftermath is harrowing. --The Times

Hugely absorbing. Brought to life with vigorous humour, common-sense wisdom and vitality. --Observer
