The September book for the Nervous Breakdown Book Club is a coming-of-age story, narrated in first-person with a minimum amount of angst and fuss, though the main character, living on the family dairy farm with her mother and uncle, deals with quite a few traumatic events, all while adjusting to her first year at an urban (Dublin) university. Mental illness versus psychic insight (and creativity) is a major theme.
The realistic dialogue holds engaging, understated humor. The title of the novel encompasses two meanings. I look forward to listening to the upcoming interview with the book’s author.
