Inglorious: Joanna Kavanna
A tragic comic novel and the funniest account of a nervous breakdown I’ve ever read. In a mock heroic quest for life, successful, dynamic Rosa packs in her job and leaves her settled life but her bid for freedom from the chains of everyday life turns into a blackly funny fall from grace. Kavanna has a truly original voice, a sharp, funny commentary on modern day life.
