lotto212 's review for:
Young Mungo
by Douglas Stuart
challenging
dark
emotional
sad
slow-paced
The writing was great and I liked Mungo, however, I didn’t realise the dark theme of this book when I picked it up. I’m not one to enjoy books that are so filled with suffering - so the score reflects my personal reading taste!
I have decided that Mungo and James are now old men living on a rural Scottish homestead, who cuddle in front of the fire each night under a hand-knitted blanket. 😭❤️
