The story follows the life of two generations of the MacGregor family through the eyes of Linda, Douglas MacGregor's daughter. Beginning in the Possilpark area of Glasgow in 1950 when Linda is two years old, the novel traces the family's struggles though the first part of 20th Century. From the hardships of the 1930's and love story between her parents, Douglas and Margie through the terrifying war years of the 1940's.

It is 1969, James and Linda Alexander start married life with everything against them, she is pregnant, money is tight and they rent a pokey wee room and kitchen in  Glasgow's east-end with an outside toilet in the close which they share with two other families. The hardships and humour of ordinary folk living in Glasgow during this era come into their own in this book.

Wellington’s Peninsular War Generals and their Battles is an informative, yet highly entertaining book and is a good piece of essential referencing work to those interested in the period as well as the wider history of the British Army.
