Description
The Way the Day Breaks by David Roberts is a powerful novel about family life and mental illness. Set in Yorkshire in the 1980s, it follows one family's struggles as they navigate love, memory, and the complexities of their relationships.
As the story unfolds, a darker current beneath the surface becomes increasingly apparent, threatening to disrupt the family's fragile balance. The impact of this on the children, particularly the youngest son Michael, is deeply felt.
Written in two distinct modes - through dialogue and poetic reflections - this moving account of mental illness offers an honest portrayal of its effects on a family's life. A heart-wrenching exploration of love, memory, and the human experience.
