Young Mungo – Audiobook

Young Mungo, the second novel by Booker Prize-winning author Douglas Stuart, is a poignant tale of queer love amidst the backdrop of working-class Glasgow.

Mungo and James, from opposing Protestant and Catholic backgrounds, forge an unlikely friendship amidst the violence and sectarian strife of their community. Their bond deepens into love, but societal pressures and the fear of rejection force Mungo to conceal his true self, especially from his domineering brother.

When Mungo’s mother sends him on a fishing trip with two enigmatic men, he finds himself in a perilous situation, far from the safety of his friendship with James. He must summon all his courage and resilience to navigate the dangers that lie ahead and protect the possibility of a future with James.
