Dear Librarian, ‘Good books like this appear about once every five years. When I’d finished I felt bereft, as if I’d lost an old friend.’ — Zadie Smith This is not the sort of quote a book about a thieving, hostage-taking homeless man would expect to get, but STUART: A LIFE BACKWARDS, is about an extraordinary, unexpected man — a man who can describe with shocking candour and humour exactly how an innocent, friendly boy was turned into a monster, and what might be done to stop it happening again. STUART: A LIFE BACKWARDS, ‘the debut of the year’, a bestseller in England, was shortlisted for the Whitbread Award, the Samuel Johnson Award, the National Book Awards and won the Guardian First Book Award. It is being made in to a television film for the BBC and HBO by Sam Mendes. Thank you, librarians. I hope you enjoy this book. And click here to enter our sweepstakes.
