It’s 1994, Kurt Cobain has just died, and teenager Alex is spending the summer working in her Aunt’s Bed and Breakfast in rural Argyll. The village pace of life is slow compared to home in Edinburgh and Alex resigns herself to a quiet summer spent serving breakfasts and making beds. Everything changes however once she meets the twin brothers who live next door.

Spanning the next fifteen years of Alex’s life, Fade Into You is a love letter to growing up in Scotland in the 90s and 2000s. Set against a backdrop of T in the Park and the war in Iraq, soundtracked by Britpop and Grunge mixtapes, with the sweet taste of tablet, it is a novel about growing up and growing apart. It explores the intensity of childhood friendships, how they change as we get older but how they never really leave us.

Hailed as ‘one of the brightest prospects among a thriving breed of fresh Scottish writing talent,’ Catriona Child was born in 1980 in Dundee. She has a degree in English from the University of Aberdeen and an MA with Distinction in Creative Writing from Lancaster University. Her debut novel, Trackman, was published in 2012 and was described by The Herald as ‘having all the makings of a cult hit.’ Her second novel, Swim Until You Can’t See Land, was published in 2014 and her third, Us vs the World, in 2021. She has been published in The Sunday Herald, the 404 Ink Earth Anthology, Northwords Now and in the Scottish Book Trust Family Legends anthology. She lives just outside Edinburgh with her husband Allan and their two children, Corrie and Alasdair.
