My Friend Annie takes the reader back into Janet Sandison's childhood. It opens as the death of her mother shatters the bliss of her Highland home. Janet migrates with her father to grimy, lowland Cairnton, where she meets the hateful and stupid Jean, soon, alas, to be her step-mother-and pretty Annie Black. Years of unhappiness are relieved by holidays among the unchanging loveliness of Reachfar. But while at school, Janet finds out about Annie's profession-a discovery that troubles her strong sense of right and wrong.

My Friend Annie is one of the many diamonds amongst her eighteen novels. Now out of print this comes from a Scottish writer (born 1910 died 1976) so down to earth, valuable in history, rich in humour, it bears reading again as I have done after 40years. Even after this space of time and
especially having learned more about the author, I find this book covers childhood wonder and guilt , teenage envy, questionable standards, humility and nostalgic memories of a time past.
This particular "friend" novel is, I think, one of Jane Duncan's best depicting the lowlands and highlands of Scotland the countryside and town descriptions and the different values and dialect of the people. The humour always shines through. Excellent!
Annie, spoilt and admired as child becomes a member of the oldest profession-however the author portrays even this as something worth viewing from an understanding level and with something resembling compassion not always the author's uppermost quality where her "friend" Annie is concerned.
