Kia ora all,

This month's selection is the new novel from the Booker prize-winning author of Shuggie Bain. Although we try hard not to repeat authors Douglas Stuart's first novel was such a hit with Lit Reads that we could not pass up his new novel :

Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart

"As he did so deftly in Shuggie Bain, Stuart takes readers deep into the working-class world of Glasgow—here, circa the early 1990s—where jobs and trade unions have been gutted. 
Young Mungo is a suspense story wrapped around a novel of acute psychological observation. It's hard to imagine a more disquieting and powerful work of fiction will be published anytime soon about the perils of being different."
