Hugh Madden is a mortician who loves his work; indeed he lives to make his 'sleeping charges' beautiful. When the body of Kincaid, his old medical professor turns up on his slab, he finds himself recalling his undergraduate years at Glasgow University. - My Name Is Denise Forrester
Denise Forrester is a changeling child, ignored by her depressive and emotionally distant mother and cared for by her pipe-smoking grandmother, who fills her head with dark tales of lives gone bad. To escape the confines of her granny's Glasgow flat, Denise creates her own imaginary world - Eulalia.
