Buddha Da | Anne Donovan

2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read

In her hugely acclaimed debut Anne Donovan tells an endearing, humorous yet unsentimental story of a working-class Glaswegian man who discovers Buddhism, rejects old habits and seeks a life more meaningful, only to alienate his immediate family in the process. Moving seamlessly between three family members, Donovan's clear-eyed, richly expressive prose sings off the page. Each character's voice has its own subtle rhythm and the conclusion is a poignant mixture of hope and lingering reservations. Buddha Da is a delight from one of Britain's best writers.

Buddha Da | Anne Donovan

I‘m many books behind on my Goodreads challenge and it‘s partly because of this book. It‘s written in a Scottish dialect making it one requiring me to translate in my head as I read and really take my time. It was almost enough to turn me off, but in the end it‘s what made the book so genuine. I could hear every character and I was in all of their heads. To story is lovely, quirky but it‘s Jimmy, Liz and Anne-Marie that you fall in love with.
