Some books mend your heart. Some friends save your life.Heart-rending, humorous and above all authentic, Distorted Days is an exquisitely written account of the ways in which life can knock you off our feet - and how you can pick yourself up again.So what happens when your husband runs off with your best friend? When you discover the dead body of an old man halfway through your delivery round? When your house is burgled and you get beaten up? Doris, Andy and Colleen are about to find out. Between the pages of beloved books and in the warmth of newfound friendship, they discover that endings aren’t always endings-sometimes they’re beautiful beginnings in disguise.A tender, witty, and deeply moving story about the families we choose, the power of literature to heal, and the unexpected joy that can bloom in life’s broken places.

Uplifting and beautifully written.’ ’A powerful and moving story. Full of tender moments and the healing that books can bring.’’It’s full of wisdom and humour.
