life change and move to Brighton, where she was born. Clem has no idea that
while there she'll meet someone who knows all about her butterfly box and what
happened to her birth parents. As the tangled truths about her adoption and

Gavin Extence is a Sheffield based writer. His first novel The Universe versus Alex
Woods became an instant best-seller, blending humour and warmth while exploring
the issues raised by assisted dying through the eyes of a teenage boy. His newly released second novel, The Mirror
World of Melody Black draws upon his own experiences to depict an
unsettling, at times hilarious, but most
of all truthful account of what it’s like to live with bipolar disorder.
Abby
is an aspiring journalist, an indifferent daughter, a cohabiting girlfriend; a
‘normal’ woman in her mid-twenties. But something sets her apart from everyone
else. It allows her to achieve complete
truth and clarity. Something that no one else could ever understand. But the very thing that sets Abby apart could
destroy her.
And
then she meets Melody Black...
