I love it' 'My top book club book ever, I just love it. Abby the character is a triumph' 'Love it! Even better book than Alex Woods. I can't recommend this book enough. It's like nothing else I've ever read in recent years, and it will stay with me for a long time' 'Insightful and sensitive, Extence describes with the lightest of touches what it's like to live with bipolar'--Sunday Express '[Extence] captures how the illness feels from the inside with sensitivity and sparkling humour. In Abby he has created a warm, funny and relatable heroine'--Daily Express BBC Radio 2's Book Club with Simon Mayo-- Praise for THE UNIVERSE VERSUS ALEX WOODS-- One of the funniest and most heartbreaking double acts in ages . . . an exceptionally good debut novel 5*--Heat The quality of [Extence's] writing is high and often hilarious--Irish Daily Mail This is a genuinely hilarious read, but also a deeply moving story about childhood, neurology and mortality.--Daily Telegraph Warm and funny and tragic and uplifting all in one. Extence should be on everyone's radar--Jasper Fforde 'Author Gavin Extence's funny and dark second novel is your commute's saviour'--Stylist 'Extence really brings Abby to life in this honest, uequivocal narrative...There is something curiously cathartic about this book, as well as having the bravery, touching honesty and memorable protagonist that Extence is making his trademark'--Heat 'From the first sentence I well spellbound. Hard to put down. Imagine a cross between Bridget Jones' Diary and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'

Reseña del editor:

It all starts, as these things sometimes do, with a dead man. He was a neighbour, not someone Abby knew well, but still, finding a body when you only came over to borrow a tin of tomatoes, that comes as a bit of a shock. At least, it should. And now she can't shake the feeling that if she hadn't gone into Simon's flat, if she'd had her normal Wednesday night instead, then none of what happened next would have happened. And she would never have met Melody Black . . . Wild and witty, searing and true, THE MIRROR WORLD OF MELODY BLACK is about the fine line that separates normal from not - and how life can spin, very swiftly, out of control.
