Laura Marney is a novelist and teaches the MLitt Creative Writing programme at Glasgow University.
Moving between an unpolished Glasgow and a complex island community Devitt’s magical mayhem conceals shadowy family secrets. Bernice and Maggie, amidst spells and betrayals uncover a multitude of duplicities which tests and ultimately cements the bonds of their friendship. Sad and funny in equal measure Cathie Devitt’s “Don’t Drink And Fly” is the first of what I hope will be many adventures for Bernice the Wiccan witch.
