Glasgow Boys
The book is about two boys from the foster system facing life challenges. They become friends, get separated and meet again. The story is written in first person, swapping perspectives from one character and then another. Finlay is starting his first year at university training to be a nurse, he is anxious and withdrawn. Banjo is still in school, he likes to run, struggles with friendships and has a complicated relationship with violence. I struggled to engage with the book as for me it lacked the depth of plot I usually enjoy and the pace was quite slow. I feel it would engage fans of contemporary fiction that dealt with emotions and family and friend dynamics.
