SADNESS OF LEMON CAKE - A RICHARD AND JUDY BOOK CLUB PICK
LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/JEAN STEIN BOOK AWARD 'The Butterfly
Lampshade is an unflinching, empathetic portrayal of a childhood
touched by mental illness. As always, Aimee Bender's respect for
the child and the child within translates into wisdom and magic on
the page.' Jing-Jing Lee, author of How We Disappeared On the night
her mother is taken to a mental health hospital after a psychotic
episode, eight year-old Francie is mesmerised by a lamp adorned
with butterflies as she falls asleep. When she wakes, Francie sees
a dead butterfly matching the ones on the lamp floating in a glass
of water. She drinks it before anyone sees. Twenty-years later,
Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment and two other
incidents that have haunted her life. But how close are her
memories to reality, and will she ever be free of them?
