Breakdown

di Cathy Sweeney (Autore)

Weidenfeld & Nicolson, 2024

From the Irish Tatler's Woman of the Year for Literature and one of the AN Post Irish Book Awards's Best New Irish Writers comes a novel about one woman's decision to leave everything behind . . . 'Thrillingly relatable' Harper's Bazaar 'This funny, thoughtful novel will resonate with lots of women' Good Housekeeping 'You won't be able to put this down. A fascinating study of a woman who has sacrificed her dreams' The Gloss 'A masterful account of one woman's dramatic rebellion against society's demands' Daily Express 'A vivid portrait of a woman adrift' Observer Mothers are not supposed to go on road trips . . . But one winter morning in Dublin, an ordinary woman wakes up in her ordinary home, her husband next to her in bed, her teenage children sleeping nearby. And - without thinking much about it - walks out the front door and never comes back. So begins a journey which will take her into service stations and shopping centres, hotel bars and hairdressers - and the beds of strange men. Until finally, forty-eight hours later, alone in a cottage in Wales, the woman faces up to what she has been ignoring inside herself, her family, modern society: signs of breakdown.
