The Novel Cure: An A to Z of Literary Remedies

Resumen del libro

"Witty, engaging and informative. The sort of book you choose for a friend and end up wanting to keep." (Rachel Joyce). "Ideal for anyone who has ever wondered what on earth to read next." (S J Watson).

"Brilliant...a perfect gift." (Vogue). This is a medical handbook, with a difference. Whether you have a stubbed toe or a severe case of the blues, within these pages you'll find a cure in the form of a novel to help ease your pain.

You'll also find advice on how to tackle common reading ailments - such as what to do when you feel overwhelmed by the number of books in the world, or you have a tendency to give up halfway through. When read at the right moment, a novel can change your life, and The Novel Cure is an enchanting reminder of that power.
