Go go go book on in! Leone Ross is a titan of the literary world.

If you're a fiction writer of 5,000 words I can't recommend Leone's guidance and sharp eye enough.

I know the author pretty well. She's @leoneross.bsky.social and she's talented. This novel first came out nearly 30 years ago and @faberbooks.bsky.social have just re-released it, which they wouldn't do if it wasn't good. There's an audiobook version for lazy non-readers too. Ta.

If you’re falling apart right now, you’re not alone. We weren’t meant to witness this much suffering and act like it’s normal. You’re not broken. The world is. And you’re one of the people refusing to forget what it means to have a soul.
