1979 takes place in a small fishing town called Musselburgh situated on the east coast of Scotland. An evocative moving and at times hilarious true-life story about growing up gay in a small town finding out you're adopted and losing your father at the age of fourteen.

In this darkly funny and deeply biographical first book Rhona Cameron takes us back to a year when everything seemed to change.
