'Only Here, Only Now heralds the arrival of an urgent and unique
new voice, as engaging and as startling as Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha,
Morvern Callar or The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night
Time, and will surely be hailed as one of the great British debut
novels' DAVID PEACE It is the blazing hot summer of 1994 in a
forgotten corner of Fife, and there is nothing for Cora Mowat to do
but hang around the wee scrap of tarmac where the swing-park used
to be. She's stuck in her seaside council estate and tired of her
own restless mind; desperate to break free but unsure of what the
future holds - if it holds anything at all for a girl like her.
When her Mam brings a new man to live with them, tensions rise in
their tiny house. Gunner is kind but strange, too - a one-eyed
shoplifter with more than a few secrets hidden under the bed. As
their attempts to forge a makeshift family are suddenly overturned,
Cora rails against her small-town existence in search of love,
acceptance and a path to something good. But sometimes you can't
move forward until you find your way back . . . In this
extraordinary debut, drawn from experience but written with riotous
imagination, Tom Newlands explores coming-of-age in post-industrial
Scotland and what it means to yearn for a life that feels out of
reach. Vibrant, lyrical and fiercely funny, Only Here, Only Now is
a story of poverty, identity and family, shining with hope and
resilience.
