Product Description
It is 1981. Glasgow is dying & good families must grift to survive.
When Agnes Bain is abandoned by her philandering husb&, she & her three children soon find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves.
It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest.
Shuggie is different. Fastidious & fussy, he shares his mother’s sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him & adults condemn him as no’ right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys & help his mother escape this hopeless place.
Winner of the Booker Prize 2020, Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, & the hollowness of pride. It is a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful & important story to tell.
