The main character was a teenage girl studying for highers who wanted to go go university to study anthropology.

Oooh, I will check that out. I don’t think I saw it the first time round.

My book club is talking about favourite books set in Scotland next time we meet. I’ve just ordered second hand copies of all of them.
