⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️'Young Mungo' is Douglas Stuarts second book after the Booker winning 'Shuggie Bain'.
Mungo is a young man facing hardship and conflict in his young life. When he develops feelings for his friend, in the backdrop of a time when it was not acceptable he faces more hardship and difficult times.
'Young Mungo' continues Douglas Stuart's realist and honest writing.
The characters are well developed and you feel like you are on their journeys with them.
It is a story that won't leave you and in a way makes you feel loss for the characters when you finish the book.
Highly recommended and a great read.
Listening to the book with its great narration adds to the dimensions of this book.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley in allowing me to read in return for a review.
