WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE NATIONAL BESTSELLERFINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Shuggie Bain is the poignant tale of young Hugh “Shuggie” Bain, a charming but solitary boy who spends his 1980s childhood in rundown public housing in Glasgow, Scotland. As a result of Thatcher’s policies, Shuggie's family is struggling, and the city's devastating drug crisis is looming. His mother Agnes is both a source of guidance and a burden for Shuggie and his siblings, dreaming of a better life while turning to alcohol to cope with her turbulent reality. Despite her efforts to maintain her appearance and pride, Agnes's addiction takes over her life and affects those closest to her, including Shuggie. This heartbreaking story of addiction, identity, and familial love is a bold and necessary debut by a talented novelist.
