There is the acerbic love of a sister, Ingrid, who communicates largely via GIFs of a drunken Kate Moss. There is the love of a perplexed husband, Patrick, a gentle doctor who lives “on the middle setting” while his beloved, maddening wife swings between extremes. There is the achingly tender love of a father, a “male Sylvia Plath”, who sits with his daughter all night after a “little bomb” goes off in her brain at the age of 17 and she no longer wants to be alive. There are many love stories in Sorrow and Bliss, Meg Mason’s third book to be published in Australia, but her first to be published in the UK.
