Reading like a Writer: mental health in popular fiction

bridget whelan's avatarBRIDGET WHELAN writer

This is  my Goodreads review of Sarah Rayner’s latest novel Another Night, Another Day. She is already a bestselling novelist, probably most famous for One Moment One Morning, a story spiraling around the sudden death of a man on a Brighton to London commuter train. There is no mystery. He has a heart attack while chating to his wife, a heart attack in the middle of his life while he still has an important job to do in bringing up his young family. Sarah’s story is about the ripples of grief experienced by those that loved and lost him. In her new novel she again returns to a serious, thought-provoking subject. This time it’s mental health and she follows three characters – two women and a man – as they slowly acknowledge that they need medical help.

It doesn’t sound very sexy, does it? Not exactly a page…
