About this ebook
Every family has a story. Mal was ours.
He was always different from the other kids. Larger than life. Trips to pantomimes were ruined by him stripping off his clothes. But people loved him. Especially Lou; it seemed like their love would last forever. Then something happened that changed everything . . . Mal grew up.
Bed is a coming-of-age story like no other. It chronicles what love, loss and family can do to you in a lifetime.

A strange, sad tale but told in such wonderful prose it keeps you wanting more. Couldn't recommend more highly.
