Douglas Stuart: John of John

Reading

After finishing his studies in Edinburgh, Cal returns to the Isle of Harris. At home, his father John, sheep farmer and Presbyterian lay preacher, awaits him. Cal cannot confide in him what he longs for most. Instead, he seeks the company of Innes, John’s closest friend. But John, too, is keeping a secret. «John of John», the new novel by Booker Prize winner Douglas Stuart, tells of love and shame, of hidden longing, and of the transformative power of truth.
