Now that she´s gone, those who loved her, those who hated her and those who felt both ways at the same time are forced to ask one question:
Who was Clio Campbell?
Three days before her fifty-first birthday, Clio Campbell - one-hit-wonder, political activist, life-long-love and one-night-stand - kills herself in her friend Ruth´s spare bedroom. And, as practical as she is, Ruth doesn´t know what to do. Or how to feel. Because knowing and loving Clio Campbell was never straightforward.
As news spreads, the story of Clio´s life spreads with it: from the Isle of Skye to an anarchist squat in Brixton, from a yoga retreat in Greece to Glasgow on the night of the Scottish referendum. Half a century of memories, of pain and of joy, and that peculiar feeling in between the two, are wrenched to the surface.
Scabby Queen is a portrait of a woman who refuses to compromise, and a picture of a country that does nothing but. It´s about the silencing of women´s voices, about the destructive power of the celebrity machine, but most of all it is about empathy: its motives, its limits and the way it endlessly transformed.
