Denise Mina

Someone, Hard, Small

A few years ago, if you had told me I'd be moving back to Glasgow I'd have said, 'No way'. But it's changed. It's much more vibrant, bohemian. But I'm 35 and I've become a bit of a homebody, I don't really go out much. Same in New York. My home could be anywhere but I love Glasgow.
Kelly Macdonald

Love, Home, Moving

Tommy Flanagan

Love, Time, Home
