Why read it?
1 author picked Cold Granite as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
MacBride’s seminal debut introduces readers not only to an erstwhile hero and a stunning ensemble of secondary characters, but also his wonderful descriptions of a foul Aberdeen winter.

From Graham's list on where the weather is a character and a foe.
