Description

Discover the quirky tale of single parenting and heavy metal behind the new film from director Simon Bird (The Inbetweeners)’When someone looks back and writes a history of this summer, two people they will almost certainly leave out are Sue and Daniel Bagnold…’So begins Joff Winterhart’s sublimely funny and perceptive graphic novel, Days of the Bagnold Summer. Sue, 52, works in a library. Daniel, 15, is still at school. This was the summer holidays Daniel was due to spend with his father and his father’s pregnant new wife in Florida. When they cancel his trip, Sue and Daniel face six long weeks together…Joff Winterhart perfectly captures the ennui, the tension, the pathos and yes, the affection of this mother-son relationship. Already well-known for his animated films like Violet and Turquoise, he here shows himself to be a comics author of extraordinary talent.Shortlisted for the 2012 Costa Award for Best Novel

Days of the Bagnold Summer is extremely original, funny, touching and beautifully observed in both the drawing and the writing. There is probably no truer portrait of teenage and parental angst.
Other text

A universal crowd pleaser…my graphic novel of the year… I love this book so much, I would have to instantly excommunicate any friend who didn’t feel the same way – though such is its greatness, this won’t ever happen.
