“Luxury. Pure, unashamed luxury”.
Of the 49 books I have read (including 5 audiobooks, courtesy of Aberdeen’s superlative, helpful, generous library service), it’s the standout.
Only Mariella Frostrup reading out “Clark, Whyte, Shewan, Munro, McMillan, Petersen, Little, Smith, Winchester, Melrose, Wilson”
or “Clark, Boel, Hermiston, Murray, McMillan, Buchan, Forrest, Robb, Harper, Willoughby, Graham”
or “Leighton, Rougvie, McMaster, Cooper, McLeish, Miller, Strachan, Simpson, McGhee, Black (Hewitt), Weir”
or “Shearer, Perry, Lonie, Walker, Niddrie, Nicol, Still, McKay, Keith, Lennox, Donaldson”
in perpetuity, would come close.
