My brother Simple / Marie-Aude Murail ; translated by Adriana Hunter. - London : Bloomsbury, 2012. - 277 p. ; 20 cm.

There's unrequited love, bad romantic poetry, essays, and plenty of crisps. But the 17-year-old boy in this story has something extra to contend with. His brother has learning difficulties and is languishing in a care home. Listening to his heart rather than his head, the boy knows he must get his brother, nicknamed 'Simple', out.
