NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
The BBC has confirmed a TV adaptation of the sensational Douglas Stuart novel Shuggie Bain is incoming.
The heartbreaking novel has been one of the most talked about books in recent memory since scooping the 2020 Booker Prize.
Set in the 1980s, Shuggie Bain follows the titular child as he struggles to fit in on a Glaswegian council estate, at school and in his own home.
His mother Agnes is his ‘guiding light’, but her self-destructive battles with alcohol prove too much for everyone else around her, and becomes the biggest obstacle standing in her way of her dream to own a house with its own front door.
