    Paradise by A L Kennedy

    It's a novel about a woman in her 30s whose life is falling apart because of her alcoholism. It opens with her trying to figure out where she is and what's happened after a drinking bout.

    Quite dark but also funny in parts. I found the depiction of the drinking problem and behaviour so realistic that I assumed the author must be a recovering alcoholic, but apparently she isn't - she's just a great writer.
