Editor’s note Scottish American novelist who grew up in Glasgow and worked for years in New York fashion before publishing his first novel at forty-four. Shuggie Bain, which won the Booker Prize, follows a gentle, “different” boy through the 1980s in a Glasgow gutted by Thatcher-era unemployment as he tries again and again to save his glamorous, proud mother Agnes from her alcoholism. Young Mungo is a tender, dangerous love story between two teenage boys, one Protestant and one Catholic. Both are heartbreaking and among the best rated books here. Read Shuggie Bain first.
