Betyg: 5 av 5 - 📚 - Den hr boken, Unge Mungo, r den skotsk-amerikanske frfattaren Douglas Stuarts andra roman. Han debuterade med boken Shuggie Bain, som jag har lst, och som fick hgsta betyget av mig. Jag hade drfr hga frvntningar p den hr boken, men dom infriades absolut, fr jag tyckte att den hr var lika bra. Den r gripande, berrande, hemsk, och sorglig, men ocks vacker i vissa delar. Kan varmt rekommenderas.
