About this product

Product Information

WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE 2020 SHORTLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION 2020 LONGLISTED FOR ABIA INTERNATIONAL BOOK OF THE YEAR 2021 'We were bowled over by this first novel, which creates an amazingly intimate, compassionate, gripping portrait of addiction, courage and love.' The judges of the Booker Prize 'Douglas Stuart has written a first novel of rare and lasting beauty.' Observer It is 1981. Glasgow is dying and good families must grift to survive. Agnes Bain has always expected more from life. She dreams of greater things: a house with its own front door and a life bought and paid for outright (like her perfect, but false, teeth). But Agnes is abandoned by her philandering husband, and soon she and her three children find themselves trapped in a decimated mining town. As she descends deeper into drink, the children try their best to save her, yet one by one they must abandon her to save themselves. It is her son Shuggie who holds out hope the longest. Shuggie is different. Fastidious and fussy, he shares his mother's sense of snobbish propriety. The miners' children pick on him and adults condemn him as no' right. But Shuggie believes that if he tries his hardest, he can be normal like the other boys and help his mother escape this hopeless place. Douglas Stuart's Shuggie Bain lays bare the ruthlessness of poverty, the limits of love, and the hollowness of pride. A counterpart to the privileged Thatcher-era London of Alan Hollinghurst's The Line of Beauty, it also recalls the work of Edouard Louis, Frank McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, a blistering debut by a brilliant writer with a powerful and important story to tell.

Book was not a in a ‘very good’ condition at all, it has a large rip down the middle of the front cover. Fast delivery.

Thank you good ebayer. I would say the item condition was in 'Good condition' not 'Very good condition'. Perfectly readable though. I noticed these 2 books came in a packet marked Awesome Books. I could have saved the postage and picked up the items as they are within walking distance 😊. If only there was that option

Described as very good, but is not. Cover is stained and scuffed,pages well worn and dog eared. My description would be well used. Kind of book I would pay 50p at the market and then discard, not good enough for a charity shop. Would leave negative feedback but price paid including p&p just about saves it. Rarely leave negative, so am ot a habitual moaner.

    Brilliantly written

    Excellent book. Difficult to say one ‘enjoys’ a book with such a bleak theme but it is brilliantly written an with such observation and detail. Do read it .

  • Shuggie Bain

    This story had to be told and I couldn’t put it down. Harrowing and so much truth and totally relatable to someone born around the time of this story. A miners village not unlike the one I grew up in, I felt I knew this family and their neighbours. Congratulations to the honesty of the writer.

  • Red high gloss paint

    Bought this for kitchen woodwork and breakfast bar. Excellent high gloss finnish and probably one of the best brush on gloss i have used, leaves a lovely glossy finish. Highly recomended.

  • Brilliant but difficult read at times

    Very Errol written but hard hitting story around poverty and hardship. You really want the best for Shuggie. The characters are very real.
