Description

The Times top ten bestseller

Granta Best of Young British Novelists 2023

Scots Book o the Year 2021

Winner of the Somerset Maugham Award & Betty Trask Award 2021

2005. Glasgow is named Europe’s Murder Capital, driven by a violent territorial gang and knife culture. In the housing schemes of adjacent Lanarkshire, Scotland’s former industrial heartland, wee boys become postcode warriors.

2004. Azzy Williams joins the Young Team [YTP]. A brutal gang conflict with their deadly rivals, the Young Toi [YTB] begins.

2012. Azzy dreams of another life. He faces his toughest fight of all – the fight for a different future.

Expect Buckfast. Expect bravado. Expect street philosophy. Expect rave culture. Expect anxiety. Expect addiction. Expect a serious facial injury every six hours. Expect murder.

Hope for a way out

Inspired by the experiences of its author, Graeme Armstrong, The Young Team is an energetic novel, full of the loyalty, laughs, mischief, boredom, violence and threat of life on these streets. It looks beyond the tabloid stereotypes to tell a powerful story about the realities of life for young people in Britain today.

Ce que les critiques en disent

A swaggering, incendiary debut . . . The non-standard English forges a dazzling poetry of its own . . . pitches Armstrong straight into the first division of Scottish writers. (Jude Cook)
The Young Team is a landmark in Scottish literature. It reminds me of Catcher in the Rye and The Great Gatsby. (Damian Barr, author of Maggie & Me)
[A] gripping debut novel . . . he is quite a phenomenon . . . one of the most admired young voices in British fiction. (Mike Wade)

Raw, Gritty, Unexpectedly Poetic, Insightful

This is just a really good story. It’s real and funny and a bit sad, but also contains many insightful truths that you may not expect to hear within a book like this.

Anyone who has come from less than ideal beginnings or has had to adjust their speech patterns (or learned to stop swearing) or has moved on from their past, will be able to relate to this story. Or anyone who did drugs in the 90s. This book has the ability to connect with a wider audience than the demographic represented in the story.

Usually I am suspicious of authors who narrate their own books because normally they do a horrible job. This author did an amazing job however. He’s obviously a born story teller. You couldn’t actually imagine someone else narrating once you finished the book.

It did take me a while to get into the story, I wasn’t fully engaged during the first few chapters, but then I was and I couldn’t stop listening. Strongly recommend.
