Parklife - Paperback
Description
by Lucy Nichol (Author)
From the writer of The Twenty Seven Club...
Dumped, drunk and desperate - will a job serving ice-cream at the park save Emma from herself?
It's 1996. Emma's been rejected by the man she loves and sacked from the job she hates but desperately needs. Feeling like she's hit a new low, she finds herself serving ice-cream and phoney smiles at the local park.
Best mate Dave's loved up, and her dad's finally emerging from years of unemployment and a deep depression. Everyone's life is on the up while Emma's plummeting towards rock bottom.
Every day she gives a free '99 to the lonely old man who sits on the park bench and reminds herself that life could be much worse.
But soon, even sprinkles and monkey's blood can't hide the truth. She's in deep trouble and losing sight of the edge. Who will help her up when she falls?
This is the follow up to The Twenty Seven Club (which was described by Stylist Magazine as 'a moving exploration of mental health, music myths and why love can help us through'). Parklife can also be read as a standalone tale.
