Résumé
Shuggie Bain is the unforgettable story of young Hugh "Shuggie" Bain, a sweet and lonely boy who spends his 1980s childhood in run-down public housing in Glasgow, Scotland. It is a difficult place to grow up, with men out of work as the coal mines close, and a drug epidemic waiting in the wings. Shuggie's mother Agnes walks a wayward path : she is Shuggie's guiding light but a burden for him and his siblings.
She dreams of a house with its own front door while she flicks through the pages of the Freemans catalogue, ordering something to brighten up her grey life. Married to a philandering taxi-driver husband, Agnes keeps her pride by looking good her beehive, make-up, and pearly-white false teeth suggest a Glaswegian Elizabeth Taylor. But Agnes is an alcoholic, and she drains away the lion's share of each week's benefits all the family has to live on on cans of extra-strong lager hidden in handbags and bottles of vodka poured into tea mugs.
Agnes's older children find their own ways to get a safe distance from their mother, leaving Shuggie to care for her. He is meanwhile struggling to somehow become the normal boy he desperately longs to be, but everyone has realized that he is "no right" a boy with a secret that all but he can see.
