*Winner of the Booker Prize 2020* Set in 1980s Glasgow, Shuggie Bain is a heart-achingly beautiful novel exploring working class life and the effects of Thatcherism in Scotland. Navigating addiction, abuse, trauma and the loss of innocence, Shuggie Bain is a piercing look at the impacts of marginalization on familial relationships and children.
