Catch the Moments As They Fly

Rena Jarvie is ahead of her time. Ambitious, attractive, and determined her family will escape their shameful past. A new town offers a chance at the respectability and independence she craves, but is it enough? When she marries Bobby Young - charming, cosmopolitan and haunted by his own memories - doors begin to open for the couple. Together, they could make their mark on the world - or lose everything they have. Spanning the 1930s to the 1960s, Catch the Moments as They Fly is a vividly realised portrait of class, ambition and womanhood in a rapidly changing Scotland. Told in Strachan's subtle and delicate prose, it is a radiant work of fiction.
