Description:
Suzanne Joinson grew up in a 1980s council estate in Crewe, where her parents were followers of The Divine Light Mission cult. This clash of class and counterculture destroyed her family, leaving a legacy of turmoil and poverty.
Years later, she attempts to reclaim what she's lost and piece together the impact of a childhood infused with esoteric yoga practices, psychedelic encounters, and meditation techniques. She acquires replicas of beloved objects that had to be destroyed in regular purges in the hope of restoring family ties.
The Museum of Lost and Fragile Things explores the realm of mother-daughter relationships and inherited trauma, in a moving, delicately-woven account of coming to terms with a complicated past.
Praise for The Museum of Lost and Fragile Things:
'A powerful portrait illustrating the dark side to hippy subcultures, it questions whether mind control can lead a mind to run wild. Joinson's intimate portrayal of her ceaseless yearning to rescue and reconcile her loved ones from the mistakes of the past is gripping and moving. This is a beautifully written testament to mercy. It is everything those who have been left with nothing are looking for: to feel seen.' Jade Angeles Fitton, author of Hermit: A memoir of finding freedom in a wild place
'A gripping portrait of a life, a relationship, a mind as it stretches and stretches.' Dr Noreen Masud, author of A Flat Place
'Joinson's memoir is a kind of reverse excavation where she hunts down objects to then bury them through her generous prose. Her hunt for mate
