A moving, funny and inspiring graphic memoir by a woman who discovered she had cancer whilst she was pregnant

Matilda Tristram was 17 weeks pregnant and looking forward to having her first baby when she discovered she had cancer.

This touching graphic memoir, never morose or self-pitying, starts when Matilda was diagnosed and ends when her chemotherapy finished. Recording the awkward conversations, the highs and lows of treatment, and the reality of still having to queue too long for croissants, Matilda captures her experiences with style and warmth. Along the way she cherishes the small details of life, and learns not to sweat the big things. Her beautiful and boisterous son James was born without complications.

Praise for Probably Nothing

Moving and gloriously matter-of-fact, and an immensely funny, touching testimony

Metro

This deeply personal memoir, written as a graphic novel is one of the most darkly funny, bittersweet and moving cartoons you will ever come across (and that includes the hunting scene in Bambi). It also has (spoiler alert) one hell of a happy ending. Add it to your basket now

Stylist

A beautiful account ... Apart from how funny Tristram's comic is, it's hard to pinpoint what makes it so magnetic ... the honesty makes you feel, as a reader, like a companion on her journey

Zoe Williams, Guardian

A funny, poignant, and beautifully illustrated picture-book memoir

Marie Claire

An autobiography at its most heartfelt and heartening

Independent

Poignantly compelling

Mail on Sunday
