Storm in a B-Cup is a novel, but obviously based on the author’s true life experiences, which was confirmed in Lindy Dale’s acknowledgments at the end of the book.
Sophie, the narrator, tells her story from discovering she had breast cancer, through to the various successful and failed treatments; the ways in which her son, Rory, and her partner, Brendan were affected, and the reactions of her family and friends. Finding out who loves her and who doesn’t makes her stronger in surprising ways. She has to jump over some pretty high hurdles!
Lindy Dale’s gentle touches of humour in some of Sophie’s most difficult moments are almost unbearably poignant. It’s a good story which balances the bad moments with the good, and with some lovely and loveable characters along the way.
Lindy Dale is a survivor, fortunately one of many, and I’m sure Storm in a B-Cup has been inspirational to a lot of people.
