Synopsis

George Poppleton is lonely, henpecked and haunted by the death of his only son.
Then he finds an old transistor radio in the loft.
What begins as an obsession soon pulls George into an unexpected journey — one fuelled by grief, painful memories and a desperate need to make sense of the family he has left behind.
Meanwhile, his daughter Sam is planning a wedding that seems destined for disaster. With an ex-fiancé back in the picture, an endlessly drunk Auntie Lesley and a family gathering rapidly descending into chaos, nothing is going quite to plan.
Darkly funny, moving and unexpectedly poignant, The Radio is a story about family, grief, love and the stories we tell ourselves to survive.
Because things are not always what they seem.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

M Jonathan Lee is a Yorkshire-based author and mental health awareness campaigner. He began writing seriously in 2006, shortly after the suicide of his brother, Simon, and his own struggle with anxiety and depression. It took nearly five years for Jonathan to write his first novel, The Radio - a black- comedy which deals with suicide which was shortlisted for the Novel Prize 2012 (for unpublished authors) and subsequently published in 2013. Jonathan campaigns tirelessly to remove the stigma associated with mental health problems and works closely with various mental health charities including Mind, Time to Change and Rethink, frequently blogs for the Huffington Post and is a regular guest on BBC Radio Sheffield talking about mental health. He regularly speaks in local schools and colleges on writing and mental health and is currently spearheading a local outreach project in which local churches provide assistance to those affected by anxiety and depression. Before writing full-time, Jonathan held a senior position in a FTSE100 company. He lives in Barnsley, Yorkshire, with his second wife, five children, two cats and a dog.
