Shuggie Bain by Douglas Stuart
5.0
What a brilliant read!
I found the characters had so much strength, humor, defiance and resilience is the face of chronic hardship and misogyny
For me the book was about being different and how to survive in a very rigid cultural normed society - Agnes and Shuggie were so very different and agnes so incredibly defiant in her difference to those around her
The book is about love and compassion, addiction and it’s fallout. Connection and a look at an unbearably tough time
I just know that Shuggie will grow up to be an incredible human with amazing empathy and compassion
Such amazing insight to the human condition.
