Well, it's odd to say that I loved this when it's very depressing, but I loved this! Set during the end of the Thatcher years in the forgotten and neglected mining towns, Shuggie Bain is a look at one families implosion and resilience (for the most part), ending with the faintest of glimmers of hope. I've read depression books before that have made me want to end it all, but this is not one of those. Engagingly written, raw and real, Shuggie Bain is really quite extraordinary.
