Took some time to get used to the language, but then it was a lucid honest portrayal of neurodivergence in a time when not much knowledge or support was available

Seren and I may have differing opinions on this one.
The setting: small town, post-industrial 1990's Scotland.
The story: adolescent Cora is trying to make sense of the world, her upbringing, her ADHD, and take some control of her life.
This is a new novel about grief, belonging, makeshift family, friendship, disability. With brilliant prose and such a real-feel, I look forward to more by Tom Newlands in the future.
Lazy Sunday reading with Seren. Loving this one so far!
