Life, Lemons and Melons - Alice-May Purkiss

Life, Lemons and Melons is the story of figuring out life when it hands you a whole heap of lemons and you don't have the energy to make lemonade or even reach for the gin. It's a funny story about things that aren't that funny. It's about mortality, health, the pressures of the modern world. It's about trying to be positive when your heart feels like it's being repeatedly trodden on by an elephant and finding humour in getting diagnosed with breast cancer aged 26 when you carry a black dog around with you every day. It's essentially about the life of every twenty something - but with some added mental anguish and the mild inconvenience which is cancer thrown into the mix. A recipe for disaster? Maybe. A good story? Hopefully. Illustrated by Georgia Wilmot
