Shaggy Bane
14.99 €
Agnes Bain sleeps soundly when she's drunk. Little Shaggy sets four mugs on her nightstand. Water to soothe a hangover. Milk to settle her stomach. The dregs of flat stout to ease the tension in her bones. Teeth whitener to freshen her breath. He signs it, just in case: "Do not drink, DANGER."

Shuggie is only eight years old, but he already understands: he wants with all his might to help his mother and be like everyone else, a "normal boy." But life, as luck would have it, is often unfair to even the most sincere childhood dreams. This is a heartbreaking story about unconditional childhood love. And also about addiction, a country ravaged by unemployment, and the difficulty of fitting in with a society from which you differ even slightly.
