John of John by Douglas Stuart tells the heartbreaking story of a young man’s return home and how the bonds of family life are torn by the weight of expectation. Our judges said, ‘John of John is a rich and moving novel about a father and son who live on a remote Scottish island in the 1990s, where small-town secrets and buried shame reverberate to surprising, devastating and even joyous effect’.
