WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZENATIONAL BESTSELLERFINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK
AWARDShuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of young Hugh “Shggie”Bain, a sweet and
lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland.
Thatcher’spolicies have put husbands and sons out of work, and the city’snotorious drugs
epidemic is waiting in the wings.Shuggie’smother Agnes walks a wayward path: she is
Shuggie’sguiding light but a burden for him and his siblings. She dreams of a house with its own
front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering a little happiness on
credit, anything to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps
her pride by looking good—he beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth offer a glamorous
image of a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor. But under the surface, Agnes finds increasing solace in drink,
and she drains away the lion’sshare of each week’sbenefits—al the family has to live
on—oncans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and poured into tea mugs.
Agnes’solder children find their own ways to get a safe distance from their mother, abandoning
Shuggie to care for her as she swings between alcoholic binges and sobriety. Shuggie is meanwhile
struggling to somehow become the normal boy he desperately longs to be, but everyone has realized
that he is “noright,”a boy with a secret that all but him can see. Agnes is supportive of her
son, but her addiction has the power to eclipse everyone close to her—evn her beloved Shuggie.A
heartbreaking story of addiction, sexuality, and love, Shuggie Bain is an epic portrayal of a working-class
family that is rarely seen in fiction. Recalling the work of Édourd Louis, Alan Hollinghurst, Frank
McCourt, and Hanya Yanagihara, it is a blistering debut by a brilliant novelist who has a powerful and
important story to tell.
