* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion : Both a subversion and a straight version of the trope. Morag's friend aborts her pregnancy with a coat hanger. Christie takes the fetus to the Nuisance Grounds, to be buried--and it's not the first time he's done it, in his job as the town garbage man. The experience affects Morag so strongly she writes a similar scene in her first novel (StoryWithinAStory). The details of the character and the scene are not fleshed out, although the character is a [[HookerWithAHeartOfGold stripper]].

* MostWritersAreWriters : Morag becomes a freelance writer. Somewhat subverted, in that her life is realistically unglamourous, and she often has to take other jobs (cleaning lady, book store clerk) to pay the bills.

Some tropes appearing in the novel include:
* BraveScot : Piper Gunn, in the childhood tales Christie tells wee Morag.
* OrphansOrdeal : Morag's parents die of some illness (probably scarlet fever) when she is only five and a friend of her father's takes her in. Not as rough as some examples of the trope, but a difficult childhood.
