ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart tells the story of a young boy growing up in the volatile landscape of Glasgow. Amidst poverty and the ever-present tensions of sectarianism, Mungo grapples with his complicated family life, particularly his relationship with his alcoholic mother and his fiercely protective siblings. The narrative follows his experiences navigating a harsh environment where violence simmers just below the surface. The book delves into themes of family loyalty, the struggle against addiction, the impact of poverty, and the complexities of identity and belonging in a divided community. Mungo's journey explores his first love and the dangers he encounters as he tries to find his place in the world.
