When Banjo and Finlay meet, they are already two teenagers who have long been caught in the social services net, accustomed to closing every window on their emotions to avoid being overwhelmed by them. But meeting each other changes everything: they learn to no longer be alone and to look at each other as brothers, until something shatters that trust, separating them for three years. Now, between Banjo's struggling-to-control anger and Finlay's questions about love, both must decide whether to courageously reopen that long-closed window. Margaret McDonald presents Glasgow Boys (Rizzoli), a powerful debut novel, winner of the Carnegie Medal, about everyone's right to love and be loved.
