The Loneliest Sheep

For the first time in my brief stint of working life, it occurred to me that I might actually get fired. That I could become one of those people with a cardboard box full of framed photographs and desk lamps. Except that I didn't have any framed photographs or desk lamps.

Desperately honest, The Loneliest Sheep is a novel about solitude, beauty, and hopelessness. Its intimate prose and wry humour transport the reader into the mind of a young woman, precariously balanced on the edge of coping: her social gaffes, her aversion to sex, and her strange little rituals that no one must know about.

Amusing in some places, devastating in others, this book is not a page turner. Readers will want to cling to every word.
