The Way the Day Breaks by David Roberts
Set in Yorkshire in the 1980s, The Way the Day Breaks is a novel about family, love, memory and mental illness and is one of the most moving, honest accounts of the way mental illness vibrates through the life of a family.
"Moving, evocative, and brilliantly well-judged, this novel is a triumph" Jon McGregor, Reservoir 13; "It's the best new novel I've read in years - it comes as close to catching the truth of life as perhaps anything I've ever read. It very much deserves awards in the year to come." Sara Baume, Seven Steeples; "The Way the Day Breaks is a quietly devastating novel where the page disappears and you are just there, with the characters. A deeply human story.; Tim Clare, The Ice House"A brilliant novel that I will be recommending for years to come. Read it." Toby Litt, A Writer's Diary. ; "In prose as recklessly inventive as its protagonist, David Roberts captures the claustrophobia of living with someone whose mind is working overtime, and the impact of that over the years. A wonderful debut." ; Jon McGregor, Reservoir 13 "A sonorous black box of a novel, recovered from the wreck of a family breakdown. In this inventive and poetic debut, childhood nostalgia is served with a garnish of broken glass and torrential English weather" Ben Pester, Am I in the Right Place?
