A beautifully written book, some non Scots might have a problem with some Scottish phrases and words. I couldn't put this book down until I finished it. Douglas Stewart the author who is Shuggy Bain, sums up perfectly his childhood living with an alcoholic mother and living in tough times due to Margaret Thatcher closing down mines etc, which put many living in squalid housing schemes. A well deserved winner of the Booker Prize.

I received this 2020 Booker Prize winner about 2+weeks. I started reading it soon after. It is set in a ‘struggle town’ of Scotland. It is a difficult existence fir each of the character. Beautifully, eviocative written. I haven’t finished reading it yet - but the content motivates me to!
