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

Quality vs Representation
Color: Black, Size: Medium, Color: Black, Size: Medium
Please check clothing due to finding the blazer a bit dirty as if someone wore it with Cat hair and dust along with a dead bug and smelling a fishy smell. We ordered in advance to take it to the dry cleaners for additional wash before using. Quality is great material; tie not included be sure to measure before purchasing to avoid any tailoring.

Earned its 5 stars!
Color: Dark Grey, Size: X-Small
My husband has a thin frame and struggles to find dress clothes that fit well without breaking the bank. Since the size measurements were very detailed, we decided to take the gamble and hope for the best. This is genuinely the best fitting suit he has ever owned. It looks custom tailored. The material is great quality and the price point is even better. We suggested this suit to our groomsmen and were delighted to see it well accommodated a variety of body types. My husband loved his suit so much we bought him one in another color and had great success with that order as well. HIGHLY recommend this suit set!

Great suit, great price
Size: Small, Color: Dark Grey
Had to send back because jacket (small size) was too tight around my upper torso so you could tell it didn't fit right. The pants though were the perfect fit, so much so I contemplated keeping the suit - it looked expensive. The suit was delivered as promised so I am thankful for that. Beause I needed it for a wedding the next day I couldn't wait on this seller as I didn't see them offering an overnight delivery. But kuddos to them though for working with me
