Sinossi

Returning to Manchester, her broken home, Esther is on the lookout for love. But love, it seems, is not looking out for her. Back in the flat she shares with her best friend, Donna, surrounded by empty gin bottles, with her past life taped up in stacked cardboard boxes, she writes DON'T GO OUT on her hand in biro, and seems to have closed the door on the world. Then Newton appears, and the world opens. A singer from Vermont, Newton has bad skin, a straggly beard and a drinker's face - but a fantastic smile. Newton changes everything. But for how long? Following on from her highly praised first novel, Gwendoline Riley has written a powerful and moving study of urban disaffection, female friendship and the longing for love and redemption. Stylish, original and beautifully written, Sick Notes reminds us of the awkwardness, the urgency of romance - and what it feels like to be young.
