Love, Grit, Blood and Spit
Love, Grit, Blood and Spit: A collection of fictionalised true-life short stories, comical prose & poetry. | Sandra Reid George
1 post | 1 read
A book with true life stories and poems that have been fictionalised. Some themes have a disturbing aura of sex, violence and abuse of women and children. Other stories are full of love and romance, where some themes have comedic properties and adult language and scenes that are not suitable for children and under 18s. Other stories have themes of gang culture or the occult and the devil, which may be disturbing to some readers. All of these creations are purely and completely from the author. Influences that created the different ideas are from her native Glaswegian upbringing in various Glasgow inner city townships, including, Dennistoun, Maryhill, The Gorbals, The Milton, Easterhouse, Carntyne, Ruchazie, Garthamlock, the East End of Glasgow in Shettleston where she worked as a secretary, in Baillieston where she was a bar-maid and in the city and Lanarkshire where she worked as a recruitment consultant, works administrator and senior journalist for Trinity Mirror and Media Scotland.

This deeply personal collection of short stories and poems comes straight from the heart, taking us on emotional rollercoaster. The author‘s love for her parents dominates the book, although you can feel the sense of hurt she feels over her father‘s infidelity, an act that signals the end of innocence. You get a sense this anthology is essentially a love letter to her mother, so it‘s fitting it ends with a touching poem written after her death
