YOUNG MUNGO (HB)

Born under different stars, Protestant Mungo and Catholic James live in a hyper-masculine world. They are caught between two of Glasgow’s housing estates, where young working-class men divide themselves along sectarian lines and fight territorial battles for the sake of reputation. As they begin to fall in love, they dream of escaping the grey city. But the threat of discovery is constant and the punishment unspeakable. By the author of the Booker Prize-winning Shuggie Bain.
