This series of poems, based in post war Edinburgh, tell the story of Linda, fleeing with her 11 year old daughter from England and an abusive relationship. In hiding as a ladys companion in one of the citys suburbs, mother and daughter settle into their new life in Elsies rackety house, and encounter a variety of characters who will change their lives forever.

More Patina than Gleamcelebrates outsiders getting by in hard times the day to day grind of cleaning a house, periods, prejudice, ageing, sexuality and falling in and out of love. The poems are not autobiographical, but Jane Aldous, whose own mother used to say that she could have run away with Jane when she was a baby, has gently torn scraps from her own life to add to the collage.
