A finalist for Scotland's National Book Award and a Best Book of the Year for the Times, Washington Post, and NPR, this is a tale of two teenage boys in raw, working class Glasgow. They should be enemies—Mungo raised Protestant, and James Catholic—but instead they find solace together, and then love. In the follow-up to his Booker Prize winner Shuggie Bain, Douglas Stuart gives us a gripping, honest story about the bounds of masculinity, the walls of sectarianism, and the dangers of loving someone too much, as well as the violence faced by many queer people.
