'Nobody writes like Sally Bayley' Lemn Sissay From the brilliantly
original and critically acclaimed Sally Bayley, a literary story of
working class childhood, absent or broken men and the power of
literature to save and rebuild a world. In Sally Bayley's
childhood, the men were often missing. Missing because they were
drunk, or out of work, or wandering. Or missing because their
behaviour meant women banned them from the house. The man who was
around for Sally was Shakespeare, and he brought men with him to
fill the gaps. Sally grew up with a troupe of sad kings and lonely
heroes. Her mind ran away from home with Falstaff and Prince Hal,
with deceivers and mavericks and geniuses. In her signature and
extraordinary style, this is Sally's story of her childhood - one
lived with darkness snapping at heels, with real and imagined
people passing through interchangeably, and with trauma a spiky
memory to be skirted and avoided. Inventive, literary and
adventurous, this is a story of hard childhood and a testament to
the way that great literature and its characters can guard an
imagination against the bad.
