Bonny Brooks - Good Choices Thirty-five, P is a woman caught
between commitment and chaos; about to upend her current stable
life to invoke the tumult of her former, addicted one. Or perhaps
just walk into the sea. Desperately trying to 'finally do the right
things', she has back-burnered much of her own writing ambition to
be the echo of her self-absorbed Right Writer fiancee; a man with
less talent and far less raw material to draw on than her, but
whose charmed roots opened doors. When we meet her, she is visiting
old mates in Bristol, trying to write her wedding vows. One
inspirational talk delivered at her old rehab, a chance meeting
with a fellow former inpatient she used to fuck in the laundry
room, and one junkie handbag thief later, and P is on a mission to
save her engagement that takes her through the crack-houses and
blues clubs she used to frequent. But does she even want her
engagement? And what's so wrong with walking into the sea? Written
partly as a series of no-send wedding vow drafts and journal
entries, Good Choices explores the ways in which we try to impose
narrative on our lives, for the implied audience always judging.
Bonny Brooks writes with eye-watering frankness, empathetic and
full-hearted to the last.
