Think you know Edinburgh? THINK AGAIN. In this exposé of the Scottish capital, EDINBURGH strips away the city's meticulously crafted public image. Beyond the Royal Mile, beyond the festivals and their millions of visitors, EDINBURGH debunks the tourist fantasy by revealing a society obsessed with a far more dangerous delusion. When Sophie, a rebellious but fragile upper class girl meets Joe, a working class gigolo, their unexpected bond has devastating consequences for the entire city. Skewering love and class, politics and art, EDINBURGH weaves a 21st century tale so powerful and shocking that no-one will look at the capital, or Scotland, in the same way again. A novel for anyone who has ever questioned their place in the world, EDINBURGH explores our deadly fascination for illusions, and our desire to succumb to them, whatever the cost.
