Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart

 


Stuarts writing is raw and often difficult to absorb, it takes time to process, perhaps because the style of writing dialect is unfamiliar... however it is this very style of writing that brings to life the boy that is Mungo, it paints us a detailed canvas of the life he lives, the family he adores and the sense of self he is discovering. I felt immersed in all his emotions, I travelled his road alongside him, I felt his grief, pain and joy...and for me that makes a damn good book.
