Even when Colin pushes him away, Andrew holds on.Ĭockburn is a strong writer, and her words make Glasgow come alive. Raised with a bipolar mother, Colin doesn't feel like he's enough for beautiful Lord Andrew, who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth.īut Andrew comes to understand Colin like no one else, and he's willing to take a leap of faith that could ruin him. Lost, but also found.īoth are imperfect, complex, REAL. as if one moment he was only his own, and in the next, he was lost to this man beside him. They debate, fight, make up, and make love (they call it fucking, but we know better). It is also a love story about two men on opposites sides of a political divide: Colin, fiercely proud, passionate, and firmly on the side of voting yes for a free Scotland, and Andrew, a charming, wealthy aristocrat who wants to preserve the union and with it the status quo that serves his family.Ĭolin and Andrew are fire and water, earth and air. Set in 2014 during Scotland's vote for independence, Playing to Win is a story of class struggle, privilege, and poverty.
