Beside the Sea is a novel unlike anything I've ever read, in every way from the leaping, disjointed prose to the brave subject matter. It is a deeply unsettling novel but an important one which tackles the taboos around mental health and motherhood.

Some nice sea and moonscapes. Liked the brother bond. Madness could be written more madly?

I think I probably knew this was the wrong book to take on a seaside holiday to France before I started, even though it, kind of, features a French seaside holiday. Ours was a much happier holiday I'm pleased to say. This was sad.
