Beyond Words

Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


If anyone tells you that Douglas Stuart's Booker Prize winning novel, 'Shuggie Bain', is a searing, brutal, unflinching book about the ugliness, horror, waste and suffering of addiction and poverty , then they are wrong.

'Shuggie Bain' contains all the above elements. But it is about Love.

It took my breath, and my words, away.
