The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer
3.0
Rating: 3.5/5
I found this to be a really fascinating read that could also be very difficult in places. This was partly because of the sadness of the story, and partly because of its complexity – the story is told by Matthew, the protagonist, who is suffering from schizophrenia among other mental health problems and his versions of events can be… jumbled.
It’s no great spoiler to know that Matthew’s brother is dead (it’s right there on the blurb!) and this book really looks at the death of Matthew’s brother and the subsequent effect it had on his life.
