Product Description
It is 1981. Glasgow is dying & good families must grift to survive.
Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. Abandoned by her philandering husb&, she & her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, one by one her children also abandon her to save themselves.
It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest.
Shuggie is different. 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.
A heart breaking story of addiction, sexuality, & love, Shuggie Bain is an epic portrayal of a working-class family that is rarely seen in fiction.
