Night song of the last tram : a Glasgow memoir /
Douglas, Robert,1939-
London : Hodder & Stoughton,
2005.
A heartwarming, heartbreaking memoir of a mother's love and a father's abuse. "If my father had been killed in North Africa or Italy during the Second World War, I know that for the rest of my life I would have looked at the few photographs of him and mourned our lost relationship. Unfortunately, he survived and came home." Robert Douglas paints a hugely moving picture of a childhood spent below the poverty line in post-war Glasgow which, for all its deprivation, was full of memorable characters and blessed with an unshakable community spirit.
