You wouldn’t mess with Mel. She doesn't care about much, but when things go wrong at home, she cares. She has to find out what’s going on. It’s not a choice. And when she finds out, everything in her life falls apart. And everything has to change.
Closer is a difficult story that needs to be told, a story about what happens when a dad gets too close. But most of all, it’s a story about Mel – funny, outrageous, emotional, brave. You won’t forget her.
Maxine Linnell's first novel, Vintage, was published by Five Leaves last year and was chosen for promotion by LoveReading. She is a psychotherapist in practice in Leicester, which has been her home since 2000.
