Good afternoon Holly

He is such a good speaker as well as a great writer. I could listen to that gorgeous Scottish accent all day.

Shuggie Bain is one of the most heartbreaking and beautiful books I ever read.

[@marcep5458]

Thank you for this, I thoroughly enjoyed every 40mins of this conversation. I'm excited to read Douglas Stuart!

[@MrGordonGartrelle]

"Shuggie Bain" is a case study in "write what you know." Stuart is so skilled he can move on to new landscapes and stories, but, wow, "Shuggie's" writing reads seems straight from a ragingly honest and passionate heart and mind.

Listening to Shuggie Bain now, just at the New Year Eve part, after the one year thing. Very much enjoying it

[@Caperhere]

Finished the book. Hoping there is a second one to continue to tell Snuggie’s next part of his journey. I hope life holds a little love for him.

Inspirational! I really enjoyed listening to the story behind Shuggy Bairn. This book will definitely find its way to this year’s Christmas stocking....

[@wonderwoman5528]

It’s been a pleasure listening to such a great writer. I’m half way through Young Mungo; it’s spellbinding and beautifully written, will be sad to leave the characters behind
