His life shattered after discovering the woman he loved was not who she claimed to be, Ed tries to find answers. To discern fact from fiction, he sifts through memories of their time together, seeking some essence of truth. His mental health suffering as a result, this obsession becomes entangled with deeper questions about life itself, leading him to question the very nature of reality.

Using a fragmented style indicative of this shattered life and the nature of memory, the author holds our attention with provocatively engaging content. Dark, rich and intellectually stimulating, Looking for Lissa is the story of one man's attempt to come to terms with mental trauma and piece his life back together as he seeks to understand his existence.

This intriguing work contains two narratives, one relating to everyday events and the other to existential thoughts triggered by these events. The former is more dominant in the first half of the book and the latter in the second, this changing balance providing a revealing look into the psyche of an individual recovering from a mentally abusive relationship and the psyche of our species as a whole.

'This book is different from the norm. It challenges how we view reality and is truly mind-boggling in places. Read it and you'll never see things in the same way again' - Pam Gideon-Thawes, author

This book is based on and inspired by real events.
