Blossom is an account of Scotland at the grassroots through the
stories of people I've had the good fortune to know - the most
stubborn, talented and resilient people on the planet. They've had
to be. Some have transformed their parts of Scotland. Some have
tried and failed. But all have something in common - they know what
it takes for Scotland to blossom. We should too... /em> Weeding
out vital components of Scottish identity from decades of political
and social tangle is no mean task, but it's one journalist Lesley
Riddoch has undertaken. Dispensing with the tired, yo-yoing jousts
over fiscal commissions, Devo Something and EU in-or-out, Blossom
pinpoints both the buds of growth and the blight that's holding
Scotland back. Drawing from its people and history as well as the
experience of the Nordic countries, and the author's own passionate
and outspoken perspective, this is a plain-speaking but incisive
call to restore equality and control to local communities and let
Scotland flourish. A brilliant, moving, well written, informative,
important and valuable piece of work. ELAINE C SMITH Not so much an
intervention in the independence debate as a heartfelt manifesto
for a better democracy. ESTHER BREITENBACH, Scotsman
