Stephen Anthony Brotherton / Mum and Boy

Product Description

For fans of Claire Keegan's Antarctica and Walk the Blue Fields, four hard-hitting fantasy stories that highlight the impact of childhood trauma. Praise from readers of Mum and Boy: 'A poignant and often heart-breaking portrayal of mothers and sons.' 'I was moved, shocked, heartened and totally absorbed by these uniquely compelling stories.' 'The characters lingered in my head for a long time after reading.' Four individual and complex stories about human development and the psychological nature of the mum and boy relationship. They explore the potential complexity of this connection and show how it can go badly wrong. A dead boy remembering tragedy from inside his coffin; a boy dealing with the death of his mum, who died by suicide; a teenager who mistakenly kills his father; a teenager dealing with hallucinations. Each compelling story covers a range of topics from mental health, suicide and psychological trauma. All with one thing in common - vulnerable human beings looking for survival
