Kluci z Glasgow – McDonaldová Margaret (2025)

A gripping debut exploring the power of identity and community
Despite a troubled childhood and difficult circumstances, eighteen-year-old Finlay has just begun studying nursing at the University of Glasgow. He went through institutional care and foster care as a child, which means that now, on the brink of adulthood, he has no one to rely on. As if the world itself weren't frightening enough. How is he supposed to write essays, focus on nursing practice, and live a normal student life when he can barely make ends meet?
Seventeen-year-old Banjo, meanwhile, is trying to settle into a new foster family, finish high school, and keep his job. However, anger and fear are battling within him, threatening his already uncertain future. He doesn't know what will happen to him, but he suspects that nothing good awaits him.
Just three years ago, Finlay and Banjo were as close as brothers. But something happened between them, and their paths diverged. Their shared past haunts both of them and prevents them from moving forward. If they want to keep their loved ones, they must forgive each other. And also find a way to forgive themselves.
