Glasgow, 1979. A young boy is abducted outside a football ground.
\nNine years later. The boy’s brother, Aaron Murray, is facing the final days of his youth.
\nHis own journey of grief and recovery has been guided by an angel, The Precious Gift –
\nperhaps imagined, perhaps real – who has blessed Aaron with redemptive, messianic
\npowers. These have enabled him to see through the past and present, joining the dots
\nbetween a vast array of characters; ballerinas, soldiers, burlesque dancers, East End
\ngangsters and the Vampire of Derry, all tied up in each other’s fate.
\nAs Aaron’s visions span cities and decades, from wartime Paris to the Troubles in the
\n1970s and Mexico City in the 1980s, Boyhood builds to an extraordinary, intense,
\nclimactic moment of redemption.
\nA book of great joy, of laughter in the face of horror and delight in storytelling by the
\nbeloved and critically acclaimed author of This Is Memorial Device, Boyhood is a hymn to
\nthe resilience of youth, to the brave dreams of artists and lovers and a love letter to
\nGlasgow – a city where magic happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
