What to expect
Windows is a celebration of the High Street, small-town life and the hard-working and dedicated shopkeepers, public servants and other people who strive to keep that life going. It's a funny and poignant portrayal of human nature and its many frailties and strengths, including love, hate, loyalty, ambition, determination, error and redemption. A key theme is the human tendency to rush to conclusions about others which can later prove to be wrong.
It's also a celebration of family, community, childhood and play, books and the joy of reading, and the beauty of the Scottish landscape.
The apparent idyll in which it is set is, however, in danger from an unknown person secretly bent on revenge, threatening the inhabitants' lives and livelihoods and the very fabric of the town itself. Will they realise the danger in time or will the threat strike and, if so, when, how, where and on whom? Will the townspeople escape it and, if not, will they survive and how will they put their shattered lives and town back together again?
