Notes on my Family by Emily Critchley

Notes on my Family by Emily Critchley

Family isn't a word, it's game with too many players. Lou's world is changing, breaking down, chaos is seeping in. Dad is having an affair, Mum has 'an episode', nan's communicating with angels, brother Mikey, struggling with his sexuality, covers every kitchen surface with cakes, her friend Faith discovers the importance of Nietzsche and Fleetwood Mac, then Mikey disappears... Emily Critchley's touching, unsettling and darkly hilarious novel is a hymn to the absurdity and surreal undercurrents that lie beneath ordinary suburban lives.

'This exceptional debut is the compelling, sharply observed story of a family in crisis told, in an understated narrative voice reminiscent of Mark Haddon or Harper Lee, by 13-year-old Lou, who is on the autism spectrum' The Sunday Times. 'A warm, witty and moving look at one complicated family and the girl at the heart of it. Full of sincerity, intelligence and hope.' Anna James, A CASE FOR BOOKS. 'Brilliantly observed.' Julia Bell, author of THE DARK LIGHT. 'A Talent to watch.' Sunny Singh, author of HOTEL ARCADIA.' An outstanding book about the nature of identity.' LINDAS BOOK BAG
