Read Sue Lloyd's debut novel Delsey Prodigal; a poignant story which has been awarded a very worthy 5-star review by Readers' Favourite.
Be transported into Tom Bardsley's world and share his highs, lows, laughter and tears as he carves out an earthy and often selfishly dangerous path for himself.
Tom lives in boring old Delsey as have generations of his family before him. He is the only child of Frank and Maggie, who own the local grocery store which serves the little village he calls home.
The Bardsleys fully intend to hand over the family business to their son one day, but he has other ideas. As he reaches his teens Tom, who has a good head on his shoulders, decides to break free and move away to study. He aspires to be a lawyer and sets off on his journey of exploration.
Threaded throughout the tale are a host of colourful characters who influence Tom’s initiation into the adult world. Within a short space of time, he forgets his roots and embraces his new life.
Franks path through life is trepidatious following some devastating news. We gain detailed vicarious insight into the horrors of living in a body which has become the enemy.
The two accounts weave together throughout the often brutally honest pages and culminate in a sequence of events which cause Tom’s life to spiral out of control.
With a solid grounding and a little help from a few good folk, we find out if he can redeem himself.
