One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days by Giles Paley-Phillips



One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days

One Hundred and Fifty-Two Days

'Superb, moving, beautiful' Joanna Cannon, author of The Trouble with Goats and Sheep 
He will be allowed to visit his mother soon. His mother who is terminally ill, his mother who he has been barred from seeing as he recovers from his own bout of pneumonia.
Until then, with the help of his physiotherapist Freya, he must navigate his increasingly empty and isolated existence: his father, who finds solace in the bottom of a glass; his Nana Q, whose betting-slip confetti litters her handbag; his friends, who simply wouldn’t understand.
Time passes with the promise of soon, but one hundred and fifty-two days later the boy will come face to face with his grief, and move beyond to a world full of possibility, hope and love.
