AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Awkward, ordinary Louis Cummings tries to kill himself. His suicide attempt scandalises Roseview Heights, the average suburb where he lives. His convalescence in a mental hospital gives his family and neighbours a chance to reflect - and they learn more about themselves than they do about Louis. Louis is both a savagely satiric portrait of suburban society and a rich psychological study. (Publisher's blurb, back cover).
