Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Nicola Streeten's little boy, Billy, was two years old when he died following heart surgery for problems diagnosed only a few days earlier.
Ten years later, Streeten revisited her diaries and notebooks made at the time: this wonderfully vibrant narrative recounts how she and her partner recovered. Gut-wrenchingly sad at times, her graphic memoir is an unforgettable portrayal of trauma and our reaction to it - and, especially, the humour or absurdity so often involved in our responses.
As Streeten's story unfolds and we follow her and her partner's heroic efforts to cope with well-meaning friends and day-to-day realities, we begin to understand what she means by her aim to create a 'dead baby story that is funny'.
Streeten is the first British woman to have published a graphic memoir.
