WINNER OF THE BOOKER PRIZE NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD Shuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of young Hugh "Shuggie" Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland. Thatcher's policies have put husbands and sons out of work, and the city's notorious drugs epidemic is waiting in the wings. Shuggie's mother Agnes walks a wayward path: she is Shuggie's guiding 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 goodher 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's share of each week's benefitsall the family has to live onon cans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and poured into tea mugs. Agnes's older 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 "no right," 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 hereven 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 Édouard 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.

But there was dancing, all kinds of dancing.' and signed by the author once again beneath. Loosely laid in is the publisher's 'Winner of the 2020 Booker Prize' bookmark. Stuart's debut novel tells the story of the titular character, Shuggie, and his experiences growing up with an alcoholic mother in the 1980s in post-industrial working-class Glasgow. Initially rejected by over 30 publishers, the book appeared in the USA in February 2020, and in the UK shortly after, although sales were initially impacted by the ongoing Covid19 pandemic. The cover features a photograph taken by Jez Coulson. "I was instantly struck by the power of Jez's photo the moment I saw it", Stewart later wrote. In 2020, the book was awarded the Booker Prize, making Stuart only the second author to receive the award. It was also awarded 'Book of the Year' at the British Book Awards 2021 and 'Debut of the Year' at the same event. "Shuggie Bain comes from a deep understanding of the relationship between a child and a substance-abusing parent", one reviewer in the Guardian later wrote, "showing a world rarely portrayed in literary fiction". A heartwrenching tale of addiction, family, sexuality and love. Scarce with such attributes. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact. Signed by Author(s).
