Seller Description
Slight water damage. Please see photos. "Winner of the 2020 Booker Prize, this is the unforgettable story of Hugh "Shuggie" Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in a run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland, taking care of his beloved mother Agnes. Agnes is a proud, beautiful woman who turns herself out like her idol Elizabeth Taylor, but she is in thrall to alcohol, and spends most of the family's weekly benefits 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 queer childhood form a masterful novelist."
