Raised in a children's home controlled by the brutal Dr Fisher, X has survived punishment, neglect and the sweet lure of lemon sherbets from his antique jar. However, the guilt she carries from abandoning her friend Caramel during a life-changing assault has never left her. Now, as her psychiatrist begins to challenge the version of events she has always believed, X is forced to confront a series of devastating realisations. Cutting between childhood trauma, a turbulent foster home, destructive adult relationships and a spiralling obsession that ends in collapse, LEMON SHERBET is a vivid, unsettling journey through shifting shadows of memory and delusion. X is an enigma the reader will long to solve. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e'My Page Turner Award winner 2024.
