'Dark, touching, sweet and funny and beautifully written' Jo Brand

'Deeply moving' The Times

'Bittersweet and wonderfully etched' Telegraph

I'll tell you what happened because it will be a good way to introduce my brother. His name's Simon. I think you're going to like him. I really do. But in a couple of pages he'll be dead. And he was never the same after that.

Brave and groundbreaking, The Shock of the Fall is an extraordinary portrait of a young man's descent into mental illness.
