About this book

Neil and Iona are a materialistic young Edinburgh couple whose relationship seems to be confined to arguing with each other about whether they should eat focaccia or ciabatta and working on 'case studies of the new Scotland'. Enter Kirsty, who may or may not be Iona's sister, who shatters their stultifying domestic routine by inventing tales by Finlay Finn McFinn, a spurious Highland seer. The Seer is, in part, a social satire, a sly poke at the 'new' Scotland and Smith is as playful as ever.
