The Back of the Book

The Sequel to The Breadmakers Saga

The New Breadmakers is the long-awaited sequel to Margaret Thomson Davis'  
besteselling saga The Breadmakers - her classic trilogy chronicling the  
life and times of a Glasgow working-class community during the 1930s and  
40s.

Having survived everything that the Depression and the second World War  
has thrown at them, the people of McNair's bakery and the surrounding  
tenements are now facing an uncertain future.  With the Coronation of  
1953, a new age is beginning, and all is by no means well in the lives of  
the breadmakers.  Catriona McNair's husband is making her life a misery  
and she decides to take drastic action; her friends Julie and Sammy have  
become involved in a search for a long-lost daughter; Alec Jackson, the  
happy-go-lucky reformed philanderer, finds himself caught up in one of  
Glasgow's worst tragedies; and the youngsters are challenging convention  
in the name of romance.

The New Breadmakers is the wonderfully evocative story of these and a host  
of other colourful Glasgow characters, as they live through the  
extraordinary changes of the 1950s and 60s.
