The Butterfly Lampshade - Aimee Bender, Windmill Books
On the night her mother is taken to a mental health hospital after a psychotic episode, eight year-old Francie is mesmerised by a lamp adorned with butterflies as she falls asleep. She drinks it before anyone sees. When she wakes, Francie sees a dead butterfly matching the ones on the lamp floating in a glass of water.
But how close are her memories to reality, and will she ever be free of them?The Butterfly Lampshade is an unflinching, empathetic portrayal of a childhood touched by mental illness. Twenty-years later, Francie is compelled to make sense of that moment and two other incidents that have haunted her life. As always, Aimee Bender's respect for the child and the child within translates into wisdom and magic on the page.' Jing-Jing Lee, author of How We Disappeared
