A Book of Tricks
Author: Emma Cooke
Publisher: Wynkin deWorde Publishers
ISBN: 9781904893011
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
"From the very beginning I expected my mother to climb back down from wherever she'd hidden herself..." So Fran, youngest daughter of Henry and Jane Cleeve, starts to record a tale of disappearances and intrigue that begin with her mother's suicide. The counterpart to Fran's narrative is her father Henry's version of the same series of disappearances and intrigue that eventually bring his world tumbling around his ears. Weaving in and out of the two narrations are Fran's brothers and sisters, her best friend Beth - daughter of double-dealing Nat Page - Fran's fanatical Aunt Theo and Henry's ladyfriend, Myrna. Although both narrators - the young girl and the middle-aged father - yearn for happiness, destructive forces are at work and Jane's suicide casts an inescapable shadow that forces both their destinies along treacherous paths. Cooke explodes the armoury of illusion and self-delusion and the subconscious conjuring of reasoning we all employ to protect ourselves from pain.

The Trick is to Keep Breathing
Author: Janice Galloway
Publisher: Dalkey Archive Press
ISBN: 9781564780812
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
This inventive first novel explores the widespread problem of female depression. A 27-year-old drama teacher named Joy Stone is losing her grip on the world. The problems of everyday living accumulate and begin to torture the narrator, who blames her problems not on her work or on the accidental death of her illict lover, but on herself. She reads horoscopes, plucks hairs, holds conversations inside and outside herself. A terrible memory tries to unfold but is resisted. Family and friends take on monstrous or pitiful guises; food threatens to become a major character. Clutching at the wrong things, the trick is to find those that let life go on. As things seen, things bought, and things said become obsessions, so the author conjures up the homely or horrifying world of litter in which the reader, like the heroine, lives.
