Overview

Blackbird Singing is an ode to the years that have passed since Graham's first memoir, Start - a memoir about his years of breakdowns, the harshness of his marriage and the beauty of falling in love with his partner, Wendy. Start has been widely acclaimed as a 'must-read' by mental health practitioners in the UK. Blackbird Singing is a musing, a meandering through real life. It is not about drama, although there is drama. It is not about devastation, although there is devastation. This book is about living, about understanding, about learning, about growing, about love and also grief; about summers walking the dog by the sea and winters when we are too tired to think. It is about answering the alarm when the world is so surreal and dark that school and work seem like an absurdity - and because it is Graham, it is about the world of mental illness and compulsory treatment and trying to live a normal life when everyone says there is no such thing as normal.
