bacchicecstasy 's review for:

Young Mungo by Douglas Stuart
4.0
dark emotional
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

So beautifully written, achingly sad and tender at points. A great portrait of a family. I do think I might have loved it even more if I had read it and not listened to the audiobook. The accent of narrator was hard for my little american brain to follow.
