Description
A taut and extraordinary unveiling of the mental breakdown of a teacher, The Trick Is to Keep Breathing is a powerful and beautifully written reminder of how close we all are to insanity.
From the corner of a darkened room Joy Stone watches herself. As memories of the deaths of her lover and mother surface unbidden, life for Joy narrows - to negotiating each day, each encounter, each second; to finding the trick to keep living. Told with shattering clarity and wry wit, this is a Scottish classic fit for our time.
