A GLASWEGIAN BOY
Douglas Stuart's winner of the 2020 Booker Prize is steeped in the death of Glasgow's mining communities and a family wrecked by alcohol and poverty. Agnes Bain's children are desperate to help her, but as she slowly drags the family down, each one must leave to save themselves—except Shuggie. But Shuggie has problems of his own. His softness reveals his most closely held secret to the world, and he, determined to "fix" himself, sets the sweet and devastating timbre of Stuart's debut.
