Synopsis

As one of the top pianists at the Royal College of Music, Flynn has been put forward for an important concert, the opportunity of a lifetime. On a good day he feels full of energy and life, but on a bad day being alive is worse than being dead. Sometimes things can only get worse before they get better.

About this title

About the Author:

Tabitha Suzuma was born in 1975 and lives in London. She has always loved writing and would regularly get into trouble at the French Lycee for writing stories instead of listening in class. She used to work as a primary school teacher and now divides her time between writing and tutoring. A Note of Madness is her first novel.

Review:

"Much more than a book about depression: it's about brilliance, fear, love and living. That is its achievement and what makes it a hearteningly good read" * Guardian * "Intense and extremely moving . . . Written with compassion and perception, this is a moving, impressive debut" -- Becky Stradwick * The Bookseller * "An exhilarating, emotive and at times exhausting read, which I couldn't put down" * TES * "A simply, but beautifully written story about a loving family . . . There is enough in the book for all teenagers to engage with, whether they have come into contact with mental illness or not" * Write Away! * "Suzuma handles the onset of manic depression with real skill and the music dimension with expertise" -- Niall MacMonagle * The Irish Times *
