Gone to Pieces

A crushingly funny and poignant debut, perfect for fans of Sorrow and Bliss.

There are three things I have to do this year. Just three. All the other things don’t matter.

1. Learn to drive on motorways.
2. Use above skill to run away to France.
3. Begin new life in France under assumed name.

Rebecca is a wife, mother and the author of an unmanageable number of to do lists.

Her attempts to coerce her life into something she has any hope of controlling are failing. Her family can’t manage without her but she’s starting to think they should. So she makes a decision. Only it doesn’t quite go to plan.

Rebecca finds herself in therapy with a doctor poking around in her brain, asking questions about her childhood. She wants to get better but that means telling someone how she feels. How she really feels.

She’s gone to pieces. Can she put herself back together?

‘Really enjoyed this book! I liked how unreliable the narrator was, and how you have to piece together what’s going on from the various narratives running through it.’ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐
