Our Fathers

Hugh Bawn was a modern hero a dreamer a man of the people who revolutionized Scotland's residential development after World War II. Now as he lies dying in one of his own buildings his grandson Jamie comes home to watch over him. It is Jamie who tells the story of his family of three generations of pride and delusion of nationality and strong drink of Catholic faith and the end of political idealism. It is a tale of darkness amidst the search for Utopia. A poignant and very powerful reclamation of the past Our Fathers is also a clearsighted and beautifully crafted look at public and personal history.<br>
