31st May - just one, but a good one

Strawberry Notes (title NM, text NM)
A delicately crafted "what Maisie Knew" de nos jours. Strawberry Sussex, the daughter of music business David Sussex, has written a highly-charged memoir clothed in a gossamer-thin cloak of fiction. The work details the story of drug abuse, sex parties and perversions that made up the rock n' roll lifestyle of her father and his sequence of glamour model and personal trainer wives, all seen through the veil of misunderstandings and hazy conception of a young girl, as noted in her secret book of notes.  

"The poignancy of the development of the girl's observations as she grows from a toddler to a full sexual being in her own right is astonishing" - Melvyn Bragg.
