Shaggy Bane
14.99 €
Agnes Bane sleeps soundly when she drinks. Little Shaggy puts four mugs on her bedside table. Water to soothe the hangover. Milk to soothe her stomach. Leftover stout to relieve bone tension. Teeth whitener to freshen breath. He signs it just in case: "Do not drink, DANGER."
Shaggy is only eight years old, but he already understands that he wants as much as he can to help his mother and be like everyone else, a "normal boy". And life, as it happens, is often unfair to the most sincere childhood dreams. This heartbreaking story is about unconditional childhood love. It is also about addiction, about a country that is eaten away by unemployment, and about how difficult it is to become one's own in a society from which you are even a tiny bit different.
