6 <strong>Luath</strong> <strong>Press</strong> Limited Fiction Electricity ANGUS PETER CAMPBELL 9781804250501 April 2023 Paperback 198x129mm 368pp £9.99 FBA Modern and contemporary fiction Shortlisted for Fiction Book of the Year 2023 at the Saltire Awards Electricity brings us back to an upbringing we may not have experienced but can certainly relate to. Taking a step back into her Hebridean childhood, Granny writes to her granddaughter in Australia, decorating her notebooks with hand-drawn scribbles and doodles. Though she may now live in Edinburgh, she relives her memories with a sense of warmth and protection. Yet, it is more than simple nostalgia. At its core, Electricity is about community, and what it is to involve it in your life fully. Electricity itself sparked across the Hebrides and changed the lives of its people forever. You become more than your family, friends, or even neighbours. The landscape itself floods into your DNA. It is something that you will never separate from. It is not only popular with Scots but those who long for the simpler times they grew up in - times when we were more physically connected. What’s evoked here is a powerful sense of what it was, and is, to grow up amid family, neighbours and surroundings of a sort providing, for the most part, both security and happiness. JAMES HUNTER A book filled with the joy of being alive. This would be my desert island choice! FR COLLIN MACINNES It reads beautifully, drawing you in slowly until it dawns on you that you’re hooked. A book which is as much an act of reverence as a work of fiction. LOUIS DE BERNIÈRES “
Fiction This is acclaimed Scots author Angus Peter Campbell’s third novel. It’s a gently winding family history that traverses nearly 200 years and five generations of poverty, war, love, prosperity, religion and folklore. Campbell explores the struggle for personal identity and delves into what it really is that makes us human. Archie has lived on a small island off the Scottish coast his entire life. After decades without a job and without a break from his selfish wife, Archie packs his bag and leaves to find the hole where the North Wind originates, as the old stories claim. He meets many strange and wonderful characters along the way, including the beautiful deaf Jewel, Yukon Joe and Sergio the expert potato-peeler. Seeking to find his way in the world, and driven by the ancient stories he grew up with on the island, Archie faces many dangers in his quest for knowledge. committed to publishing well written books worth reading 7 Memory and Straw Winner of the Fiction Book of the Year Prize (Soltire Awards 2017) The Girl on the Ferryboat ANGUS PETER CAMPBELL 9781910021187 June 2014 Paperback 198x129mm 192pp £7.99 FBA Modern and contemporary fiction ANGUS PETER CAMPBELL 9781912147410 July 2017 Paperback 198x129mm 256pp £8.99 FBA Modern and contemporary fiction Archie and the North Wind A vividly evoked Scottish tale of chance encounters and of family memories, regret, love and loss.
