"As I stand there, the moon seems to grow bigger and brighter, lighting up the sea. It's so bright I can make out the line where the ocean meets the sky - it's like a long straight road. And along this road someone comes riding; a boy on a big black bicycle. Perhaps I'm dreaming, I don't know - but he looks so real, hardly older than me and though he's so far away I can make out all these little details: how his hair is the same sandy colour as Davie's and his eyes are grey like Mum's."
"Wolf On the Fold" is a collection of six loosely connected stories that span seventy years from 1935 to 2002. Full of emotion, love and pain, they explore moments when a child's reality collides with the adult world. They are profound, funny and heartbreaking in turn.
