As the choir from Our Lady of Perpetual Succor for Girls, in rural Scotland, is bussed into the big city to participate in the national singing finals, five of the teenage schoolgirls let loose for a night of pub crawling, shoplifting, and body piercing. And, since a nuclear submarine has just anchored in the bay, the local nightclub will be full of sailors on leave. After a bout of preparatory drinking, the girls are ready for their big night-and what a night it will become. An outrageous tale of adolescent debauchery, The Sopranos opens the lid on desire and excess in all its grim glory. A huge bestseller in England, it is a remarkable mix of near-violent energy and tender compassion, and confirms Warner, the writer "who defines the '90s as clearly as Ian McEwan defined the '70s and Jay MacInerney the '80s" (Time Out) as "the best of the new Scottish writing" (Salon).

reviewed The sopranos on September 09, 2009 The sopranos
One of those books that remind you why you read fiction, and by extension why you live. Definitely a new favourite. The characters are extremely lifelike (so much so that I urge all followers of "men are from mars and women from venus"-like crap to read it, if a man can paint such a believable portrait of teenage girls the opinion that "we're just too different to understand each other, at least without crappy self help manuals" becomes impossible to hold). The language is amazing, too; poetic but without ever seeming forcedly "literary" or pretentious. Alan Warner has become one of my top 5 (at least) favourite writers in a short time, I can't wait to read more.
