Kids' Stuff

“A compelling, unnerving journey into those darker recesses of the mind that we all keep well hidden from public view. It’s a remarkable novel—spare, uncompromising, deeply felt.”—Douglas Kennedy

Mark is a practical man; he expresses his feelings in actions rather than words. When his wife tells him that his ex, Kim, has called, he’s speechless. He hasn’t seen Kim or his daughter, Lily, for over 10 years. When Mark meets Lily, it’s not the joyful reunion that he had been hoping for. In Kids’ Stuff , Henry Sutton digs deep into the dark heart of middle England and finds it a very scary place indeed.

Henry Sutton was born in Norfolk, England, in 1963 and now lives in London, where he works as a literary journalist.
