About the book
A gripping literary debut, Careful! is the story of one mother's desperate attempt to reunite her family. As a child, Lenny had an accident that left him mentally challenged, prone to being exploited by the world around him. As long as Alice, his devoted mother, protects him, he is safe. But when Alice decides to use Lenny to kidnap his estranged brother Jack, a series of devastating and ultimately tragic events are set in motion. Told entirely in internal monologue, this is a stunning tapestry of language, violence and emotion, by a new voice in British fiction.
