Insignificance

JOSEPH is trying to focus on a plumbing job, but is too distracted by the terrible things that have been happening in his family. JOSEPH believes that his son has tried to murder his wife. JOSEPH is afraid that his wife is going to leave him. JOSEPH is terrified that his son will try to kill again. Insignificance - the debut novel for adults from Carnegie Medal-nominee James Clammer - unfurls over the course of twenty-four hours, placing the reader right inside the head of its struggling narrator. A tender act of empathy for the uncertainty and awkwardness of a vulnerable man, Insignificance is also a masterclass in burning tension - as we start to fear not just for the safety of Joseph's family, but that Joseph himself may not even make it through the day....
