Well this book really affected us! Douglas Stuart's Booker-winning debut about a young Shuggie Bain growing up in working-class Glasgow with an alcoholic mother is not the most uplifting of reads but it had a huge impact on us. We talk parents, council estates and Curtis's 55-day drinking bender. Expect more swearing than usual and some cracking one-star reviews from angry people.
