This novel has a ring of truth while bravely tackling themes that have uncomfortable echoes today. --The Scots Magazine
The Credit Draper is a rare evocation of an earlier genre: the immigrant novel. This tends to be one of two types: an examination of the immigrant's inner life and the changes wrought upon it by a new land and language... or a bildungsroman... The Credit Draper belongs in the second camp, adding a most welcome Scottish dimension. --Clive Sinclair, The Jewish Chronicle
Avram Escovitz dreams of playing football for Celtic, but war intervenes, forcing him to leave the tightly-knit Jewish community of Glasgow's Gorbals to work as a credit draper, peddling goods to the crofters and villages of the West Highlands. This very original debut novel is not only a book about a stranger in a strange land, but also about whisky, football and waterproof clothing. And romance across the cultural divide.
