Guardian Bookshop Notes:

An ambitious first novel from Alastair Campbell, which will no doubt generate a massive amount of publicity on publication. At its centre is Martin Sturrock, a man desperately in need of a psychiatrist. The problem? He is one. Set over one life-changing weekend, it is both a comedy and tragedy of lives spent on the edge of the abyss. Campbell has personal experience of both depression and addiction, and will be talking openly about such issues as he promotes the book.

Publisher's description:

Martin Sturrock desperately needs a psychiatrist. The problem? He is one. Emily is a traumatised burns victim and Arta, a Kosovan refugee recovering from a rape. Very different Londoners, but they share one thing: every week they spend an hour at the Prince Regent hospital, revealing the secrets of their psyche to Professor Martin Sturrock.
