Shuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of Hugh "Shuggie" Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgo, Scotland, taking care of his beloved mother Agnes. Agnes s proud, beautiful woman who turns herself out like her idol Elizabeth Taylor, but she is an alcoholic, and spends most of the family's weekly benefits money on extra-strong lager and bottles of vodka. A heartbreaking story of addiction, sexuality, and love, Shuggie Bain is an epic portrayal of a working-class family and a queer childhood from a masterful novelist, one of the most talented debut writers of recent years.
