CAMEO A small space in time in the city of Edinburgh; twelve people's lives are scattered around the cluster of streets, their individual worlds weaving and intertwining. From the gates of Saughton prison to the leafy avenues of Morningside, each has a part to play in another's story. Stringing them all together is the abduction of six year old Lily Maxwell, who dances in and out of the narratives touching everyone who sees her. Lily, who loves attention and fairy wings, with a weakness for Raspberry Ripple ice cream; takes a strangers hand and disappears into the city. Flaneur-like, we stray from and return to tales of the Lambert family and their unwitting involvement in the lives of others. Michael, a wary ex-con, his brother Derek whose comfortable life is crumbling in front of his eyes and their mother whose seemingly mundane day takes a significant turn. All these happenings mould the day which will shape the rest of Lily Maxwell's life. Her language is deceptively simple in a way that makes her themes both accessible and powerful. She brings insight and empathy to her characters Stuart Campbell, author of 'Boswell's Buspass'
