Delirious by Damien Wilkins

An ordinary move awakens extraordinary memories and grief

Very Good Condition - with light rubbing and minor wear along cover edges and corners.

Mary, a former police officer, and her husband Pete, a retired librarian, have decided it is time to move into a retirement village. Their ageing bodies make the decision practical, but leaving a beloved house is entangled with the people and memories it contains. When a detective brings new information about the death of their son Will, an old wound reopens and Mary is drawn back towards events that have never lost their force. Pete, meanwhile, finds himself remembering his mother’s final years and the disturbing uncertainty of delirium. Damien Wilkins follows a long marriage through change, grief and the persistence of family history, finding emotional complexity in ordinary conversations and decisions. Delirious explores what it means to begin again while continuing to carry the past.
