Loved this book. A gorgeous review for @damianbarr.bsky.social in The Guardian ❤️📚
It’s a privilege to be noticed by reviewers, as Books pages shrink. It’s an actual joy to be critiqued so closely by a reviewer who places me and you (the reader) in a threesome with The Two Roberts, my two central characters. 🍾

The lives of Scottish artists Bobby MacBryde and Robert Colquhoun, who found love and fame and lost it all, are vividly reimagined
