Leah McFall reviews Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason, published by HarperCollins. Sorrow and Bliss is the second novel by ex-pat Kiwi, Meg Mason, compared to Fleabag's Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Joan Didion and Sally Roone. The novel features an ensemble cast of memorable characters, a vivid use of searching wit and snappy dialogue to soften the sad bits. It's a tour de force and deserves all the acclaim it's getting. Leah says: "SO clever. SO heart-breaking. SO funny. Recommend!"
