Description:

Suzanne Joinson grew up in a 1980s council estate in Crewe, where her parents were followers of The Divine Light Mission cult. This clash of class and counterculture destroyed her family, leaving a legacy of turmoil and poverty.

Years later, she attempts to reclaim what she's lost and piece together the impact of a childhood infused with esoteric yoga practices, psychedelic encounters, and meditation techniques. She acquires replicas of beloved objects that had to be destroyed in regular purges in the hope of restoring family ties.

The Museum of Lost and Fragile Things explores the realm of mother-daughter relationships and inherited trauma, in a moving, delicately-woven account of coming to terms with a complicated past.

Praise for The Museum of Lost and Fragile Things:

'A powerful portrait illustrating the dark side to hippy subcultures, it questions whether mind control can lead a mind to run wild. Joinson's intimate portrayal of her ceaseless yearning to rescue and reconcile her loved ones from the mistakes of the past is gripping and moving. This is a beautifully written testament to mercy. It is everything those who have been left with nothing are looking for: to feel seen.' Jade Angeles Fitton, author of Hermit: A memoir of finding freedom in a wild place

'A gripping portrait of a life, a relationship, a mind as it stretches and stretches.' Dr Noreen Masud, author of A Flat Place

'Joinson's memoir is a kind of reverse excavation where she hunts down objects to then bury them through her generous prose. Her hunt for mate

Fun, interactive toy!
So much fun! Bought this for my lab. She wasn't sure what to think of it at first but seems to love it now! I like that it's rechargeable too.

Happy puppy.
Color: Blue
My puppy loves his. He carry's it around and throws it. He knows how to turn it on himself. Charges quick.

Overall, I highly recommend it!”
Great toy! My dog loves it 🐶 The ball moves on its own and keeps him entertained for a long time. It’s perfect when I’m busy or not at home. Good quality and fun, but maybe not the best for very aggressive chewers.

Puppy loves it but the battery is awful
Color: Blue
Our puppy loves playing with this ball, it does what it says and keeps her occupied for the entire 10-15 minutes the battery lasts. I have to charge it several times a day, though the light never flashes red when the battery is low, it just doesn't work anymore. It also makes a beeping sound when she's playing with it that is super annoying, which sucks because the ball itself isn't super noisy even in the hardwood floors. I wouldn't purchase this again, and we'll probably have to toss it out within a week or two, I really don't see this thing lasting very long. Without the movement, it isn't a ball we would let her play with because she is a strong chewer and the material doesn't seem chew proof at all. I'm only giving it 2 stars because she really does love playing with it, but the battery life and beeping sound are atrocious.
