If anything, I like it even more than Shuggie Bain, I can see my self there, I lived in red sandstone flat between the Parade and Duke st, What a writer !!
A touching description of growing up in a poor area of 1990’s Glasgow; grinding poverty; gangs; violence; adolescent love; dark and disturbing in parts. Above all, beautifully written and crafted and at the end a real tear jerker. Deeply moving.
