Meet Mary. Mary has an illness no doctor seems able or willing to name. On top of that she's preoccupied with the idea there's a secret room in her house that she can't gain access to...
She realises she must do three things immediately:
1. Leave her home
2. Leave her husband
3. Take psilocybin
From the author of Strong Female Character, Fern Brady's debut novel explores bodily autonomy, medical misogyny and the repercussions of what happens when your internal world is suffocated.
Fern Brady is a woman. She is also autistic. She was born in Scotland (no, not Glasgow). She has no presets for being a 'good woman' - she never hated her body or indulged in messy millennial shame. She now lives out of wedlock in London. She has zero children.
Fern's caustic wit, exceptional writing and electric stage craft has made her one of the UK's hottest comedy stars. As seen on Live from the BBC, Live from the Comedy Store, The Russell Howard Hour, and Live at the Apollo. She's had viral success with her BBC Life Lessons and supported Frankie Boyle and Katherine Ryan on tour. She can currently be seen on Taskmaster on Channel 4.
