4.0

A beautiful, heart-breaking, original and simply stunning work of fiction, The Fat Lady Sings challenges you to rethink mental illness. A story of two black women who meet in a psychiatric ward in a 1990s London hospital, Jacqueline Roy creates a fragmented yet enjoyable read. Once I began to piece together how the protagonists think, I truly loved it!
