Books: Stitches

_________________________________________________________________________________

Stitches
By David Small

2009






Sorry. This item is currently unavailable from Islington libraries.

A moving emotionally-powerful childhood memoir. Beautifully drawn. Expertly written. Sad. Magical. And horrifying. Like a worm crawling around your heart eating bits of you from the inside-out. Reads like a poem. Or someone whispering inside your head. Strangely dreamlike. Yet full of nightmarish images. Recommended.
