Sick Notes
Gwendoline Riley
A brilliant coming-of-age novel about drinking, depression and the pain of first love from the critically-acclaimed winner of the Betty Trask and Somerset Maugham Awards.
Returning to Manchester, her broken home, Esther moves back to the flat she used to share with her best friend Donna. Surrounded by empty gin bottles, with her past life safely taped up in stacked cardboard boxes, she proceeds to turn her back on a ‘real world’ that seems meaningless and absurd. Instead she lives in her own head. Then she meets Newton, a care-worn American wanderer with a drinker’s face and an angel’s smile. Newton changes everything. But for how long?
