Pages: 414
Key Themes: grief, suicidal thoughts, gender-dysphoria, schizophrenia, self-harm, eating disorders
Description
Cuckoo Club is a compelling, epic novel spanning twenty years in the lives of five people with mental and physical health issues. In a readable and accessible manner it addresses grief and suicidality, not to mention anorexia, self-harm, gender-dysphoria, schizophrenia and alcoholism! Despite this apparently grim subject matter Cuckoo Club is life-affirming, joyful and funny. It presents strange and extreme people as normal and everyday and the normal and everyday as often strange and extreme. Above all Cuckoo Club tells an immediately involving story about people you will want to know more about.
