Book Synopsis

A gently humorous take on the modern world - from the pitfalls of knicker-envy to the weaponising of email sign-offs

Screams is Ysenda Maxtone Graham''s idiosyncratic and gently funny take on the modern world. She pinpoints all those small things that irritate, but which have a disproportionate effect on our wellbeing (for example, agonising waits for HMRC while stuck in a loop playing the Four Seasons; deep-seated recycling fears; friends that gaslight you with too many xxxs) and also takes pleasure in the small victories that bring surprising joy (lunch from leftovers and finding a miraculous parking space against all odds).

''Screams is as sharp as holly, and as sparkling as fairy lights... it''s bound to find its way into many a Christmas stocking'' Mail on Sunday

''The beauty of this book is its specificity... Graham has successfully and with wit translated into precise words the minutiae of everyday life'' The Times
