It also reminds you that friendship can come in many forms, like a four legged friend, your sister or someone that has taken you in when you have nowhere else to go. My weekend is all booked | The bookworm's ceramic mug | 11-Ounce | gift for readers and book enthusiasts! | print on both sides!

I was rooting for Kelly, along with the people rooting for her whether she knew it or not. It’s so beautifully written and so specifically Scottish, with a smattering of Scots language, that it felt like home. It’s funny, and painful, and poignant and so compassionate. It might be a work of fiction but we all know Kelly. We’ve seen her, or him, sitting outside on the pavement with their paper cup, asking for nothing but 20p and possibly a sandwich. In this world, in 2022, this shouldn’t be happening but it still is - this series of nets lets people slip through. If nothing else, this book casts a light into that shadow and will hopefully encourage readers to volunteer, to add to that cup, to see that person as a person. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. The book is so well-researched, well-written and very Scottish. The Glasgow dialect may alienate some readers.While Kelly hitchhikes and walks around Scotland, a journalist is also seeking HER out, following a seeming act of bravery on the part of the Homeless Heroine. We see a very different Kelly from the one the media is portraying though. This book started so confusingly I nearly stopped. There was a hen do and some weird characters and it felt like different timelines, but about a third way in, things got a bit clearer and Kelly going on a pilgrimage to try and return this engagement ring to the woman about to get married, and meeting many interesting people on the way.

As well as the human interaction with the librarians, and a place to come in out of the cold.

And so begins a pilgrimage across Scotland, starting in Glasgow to Kelly’s home town, as she is determined to return the ring before the Wedding takes place. I won���t tell you how she knows these details, but the journey is all set up in the first chapter. Glowing with empathy and wry intelligent wit. Let Kelly into your life. She’ll change you, and you won’t forget her” Overall, Paper Cup is an astute, touching, compelling tale by Campbell that does a beautiful job of reminding us that family is not always those just related by blood but rather those who love, care, support, and accept us. I can often be critical of books which sentimentalise homelessness and poverty and give an impression of a lovely, wee community of people who are homeless but happy. I enjoyed this portrayal of the city of Glasgow and the descriptive realities that people who are homeless face on the street. The descriptions of the streets, the characters, the services available and staff who work within them were immediately recognisable to someone who has worked within this environment. Paper Cup, for me, was quite a hard and slow read. It is written in Scottish dialect and sometimes I failed to understand the words, however, it is also a poignant, harrowing, yet incredible read.Being a dog lover, Collie of course won my heart, and I loved watching the bond between him and Kelly grow.
