    About this ebook

    The story of a young girl trapped in an increasingly tiny world.

    In the beginning was the mattress. Gradually, other little changes - more bolts on the front door; the gun; the locked cupboard. And she knew in her heart that change was bad.

    Based on a true story, Lela & Co. premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in September 2015.
