What readers are saying about Gone to Pieces:
'A modern-day Bell Jar'
âWhat made Gone to Pieces special for me as a reader, was the choice of protagonist â middle-aged wife and mother, Rebecca ... proving that women over 50 are the ones who often have the most complex storiesâ
âThis was a really unusual read but loved it ... Thoroughly enjoyable and unique bookâ
âI loved that itâs based on a middle-aged woman struggling with her mental health as I donât think this is covered often. I found Rebecca to be a really likable character and I was really rooting for her the whole way through.â
