Synopsis:

From the Booker-winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo comes a vivid, moving, and beautifully crafted novel following a young man returning to his Hebridean island home, a portrait of a close-knit community and a fraying family, of a father’s expectations and a son’s desires

Out of money and with little to show for his art school education, John-Calum Macleod takes the ferry back home to the island of Harris to find that little has changed except for him. In the windswept croft where he grew up, Cal begrudgingly resumes his old life, stuck between the two poles of his childhood: his father John, a sheep farmer, tweed weaver, and pillar of their local Presbyterian church, and his maternal grandmother Ella, a profanity-loving Glaswegian who has kept a faltering peace with her son-in-law for several decades. Cal wonders if any lonely men might be found on the barren hillsides of home, while John is dismayed by his son’s long hair and how he seems unwilling to be Saved. As lambing season turns to shearing season, everything seems poised to change as the threads holding together the fragile community become increasingly knotted.

John of John is a singular novel about duty and patience and the transformative power of the truth. It is a magnificent literary work that shows Douglas Stuart working at an even higher level of artistic creation.

Nuggets of knowledge
Format: Paperback
This book has a lot of knowledge you may already know and/or would definitely see anywhere else on the internet. I found this to be an easy read that I briefly scan over until I find what I’m more curious about. There are several parts we found to be helpful and just good to have. It’s like adding more “tools”(skills) to the tool chest. As a new parent, I’m always trying to be a learner. We learned from the little nuggets of knowledge inside these pages It’s a very affordable book that you can buy used for just a few bucks. Low risk, high reward. Best of luck to all the new parents out there and congrats to your growing families. 🤙

Great lessons, very repetitive content
Format: Paperback
Not that I am hoping my baby will be a screamer, but if he is I hope that the lessons learned from this book will be put to good use. It’s a decent read in terms of learning actual techniques - hence the five stars - however its length is equivalent to being given a 2,000 word assignment and you reiterate the same five things four times in different ways. I would recommend buying the video on Amazon Video for like $5 to see how the man actually puts these techniques to practice.
