Now, he was older.
He was married with children.
But he said that all the symptoms and everything he describes in the book are mirrored on his own experience.
And he is the son of the author, Helen, the late author, Helen Dunmore.
And it's a beautiful tribute to his mum in that two of the characters in the book are named after two of her characters, which I thought was a really lovely touch.
It's a gorgeous book.
And I just felt like I should have been reading it by candlelight or by torchlight.

But it was gorgeous.
Yes, I thought so.
I thought it was a beautiful book.
It's written by Cariad Lloyd and it's illustrated by Tom Percival, who he writes his own books on feelings and emotions and they're wonderful.
