periodictabledancer Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Currently exploring my own family's links to the USA and came across this in Waterstones. Turns out the Scots weren't always the angels we think , particularly in the slave owning parts of the Carolinas and their impact on the native peoples of Canada. Early days but fascinating.

I'm not sure anyone now thinks the Scots were angels. The number of black people with Scottish names is remarkable until you think of the reason for it.

The Road was a bit bleak for me and i didn't finish it. Must try again! In my view its really worth it but it is a bleak novel. I probably rate it as my favourite post-apocalypse type book for that reason. Just ordinary people trying to survive. No outrageous heroics etc, just real. Might have to reread it after this one. Its been a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
