Once again I need to thank my Bestie back in Blighty for suggesting this one....
...I will admit that it took some effort on my part to come to grips with the Glaswegian dialect otherwise known as the Glasgow patter, but that said it was well worth it.
Shuggie Bain is a broken and often brutal yet tender tale of life in working class Glasgow. The bleak and devastating effects of alcoholism are portrayed in convincing and often horrifying detail...it was not an easy read.
Having said this, know that...
I laughed...
I cried...
I ached for Shuggie...
...and his family.
A raw, heartbreakingly sad, yet hopeful story.
The Library Enthusiast Suggests...
...Love Libraries
