Scottish Girls About Town by Jenny Colgan

Meet the Clanswomen.
International bestselling authors Jenny Colgan, Isla Dewar, and Muriel Gray lead off this dazzling collection of stories by popular and rising Scottish women authors. A sometimes wild, sometimes poignant romp through the lives of Scotswomen, Scottish Girls About Town revels in the universal hilarity and strife of being a girl
They're looking for something moor.
In Jenny Colgan's The Fringes, a hapless heroine heads to the Edinburgh Fringe -- a massive theatrical and musical festival -- for a night of her own disastrous drama. Isla Dewar offers up In the Garden of Mrs. Pink, one woman's look back at her girlhood and the life lessons she learned from an eccentric neighbor. In Muriel Gray's School-Gate Mums, a single mother with killer instincts settles the score with one of the mothers at her son's school. Whether they're racing their flatmates in a weight-loss contest, reconnecting with long-lost friends, or grappling with the men in their lives, these daughters of Scotland prove that no one can top their audacious spirit and Highland charm.
