Lit Reads Book Club: Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart

*Winner of the Booker Prize 2020* Set in 1980s Glasgow, Shuggie Bain is a heart-achingly beautiful novel exploring working class life and the effects of Thatcherism in Scotland. Navigating addiction, abuse, trauma and the loss of innocence, Shuggie Bain is a piercing look at the impacts of marginalization on familial relationships and children.

Lit Reads is now back in full swing and we will be providing snacks and wine as normal! Remember to email through an RSVP at books@timeout.co.nz.
