This is a raw and unflinching memoir of family, motherhood and a son’s struggles with mental ill health (bipolar disorder) and addiction.

I didn’t really know what I wanted to write or what shape it would take but I knew (or hoped) that if I connected with the right people, things would come together.

I started to write this novel on a dare to myself - to write the thing that most scared me. As a chronically ill writer, I’d always skirted around the topic of late-stage disease with my first two (unpublished) novels. to Brideshead Revisited, they occupy such a space in literature — and then you get older and realise that, if you’re working-class, you wouldn’t be one of the main characters, you’d have been below stairs.

Set in Osaka, we follow the story of Anna as she ventures into a new lift teaching at a Japanese school in Osaka. Old wounds from a vanished mother rise to the surface as she searches for her missing friend, Loll.

Family and heartbreak stretch through the eternity of this story as one man finds himself jumping through time.

This book is a tender, coming-of-age novel that will make you smile and cry (take it from someone who may or may not have ugly cried multiple times on the train to work).

The Leveret is a gorgeously tender short novel exploring grief, baby loss and queer love.

So many people have experienced miscarriage, and yet it’s hardly spoken about. Even less so in the context of queer relationships, where the journey to pregnancy is often so much more complex.

Send Flowers is a poignant exploration of the climate crisis, grief, and standing up for what you believe in at any cost.

Jacqueline has created a perfect, emotive, and brilliant novel with livable characters and real-life issues that I'll be thinking about for a long time! Gorgeous and unforgettable!
