Sorrow and Bliss
by Meg Mason (Weidenfeld & Nicolson)
Funny, sad, has already topped the bestseller list in its hardback format and is likely to gather even more momentum once it is released in paperback at the end of April. It’s a tender look at love, family and marriage through the prism of an unnamed mental illness. Fear not, the heavy sounding subject matter is treated with the lightest touch, as protagonist Martha’s dark humour makes the book genuinely laugh-out-loud funny and compellingly readable.
