Description
Set on a canal linking Glasgow and Edinburgh, Young Adam is a masterly literary debut by one of the most important British post-war novelists. A young woman's corpse floats in the canal, and tensions rise in cramped confines as the narrator's seduction of the skipper's wife intensifies.
The conventional morality and objective meaning of events are stripped away in this work, leaving a story that is compulsively readable. With its tightly wound plot and highly charged atmosphere, Young Adam proves to be a gripping and thought-provoking novel.
