Polly's Dreams - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Polly, a young woman with Asperger’s syndrome, heads back to her hometown after her girlhood cat dies. The trip seems innocent. She and her Dad bury the cat in the garden. But after looking through old family photographs Polly makes an uneasy discovery. She is in the image, but can’t remember the photo being taken, and the content is a giant contradiction. It connects with a great phobia she’s had all her life. Gradually she realises that a whole chunk of memory is missing from her youth. And as she investigates further, more unnerving signs follow … Come across the other side of the city, where a man is locked inside a mental institution. He has been here since a teenager and there is no chance of him ever getting out. The guards routinely beat him up. He knew Polly when she was a girl and often thinks about her. But does she remember him? Polly’s Dreams is a commentary on traumatic violence and how authorities deal with individuals who they deem as mentally ill.
