The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer

Shock of the fall




The story is an account of trauma, grief, and a realistic glimpse mental illness. 

Good points:
I liked how the story keeps jumping around in time - similar to how I remember things.
Filer uses his own experience as a mental health nurse to inform the novel and the passages set in the treatment centre were convincing but makes it realise it must be quite grim 

Bad points:
Whilst I did enjoy it I didn't find it deeply moving or compelling.
