The Brainstorm by Jenny Turner
When Lorna comes to work one morning at the offices of a buzzing newspaper and a colleague offers to bring her a sandwich, all seems as it should be. Emails, boyfriends and sparkling parties follow. But Lorna has had a brainstorm. She can't remember what she does, where she came from and where she's supposed to go next...
A fascinating comic creation * Independent *
It is a funny and inventive book and Turner manages to fence dazzlingly with stereotypes and sharp home truths while making her mordant observations part of a far bigger picture -- Stuart Kelly * Scotland on Sunday *
This is an original first novel, cruel and incisive -- Viv Groskop * Sunday Express *
This is a very clever, subtle novel, that in its quiet way polishes the surface of things so that we see them, for a while, as if for the first time -- Nicholas Lezard * Evening Standard *
A highly amusing and pretty convincing satire of the newspaper industry * Times Literary Supplement *
