The author presents a fictional case study of Pat, a messy, middle-aged female psychotherapist and James, a seemingly successful, smug, thirtysomething barrister who, when he was only a kid, developed kleptomania. The illustrated story follows their psychotherapeutic relationship and the breakthroughs of each through a year of therapy sessions together. Lady Perry was born in Warrington, Cheshire. Her mother's family owned a cotton mill and her father inherited a civil engineering company and a farm. She was educated at Abbots Bromley School for Girls [3] and at a Swiss finishing school where she learnt to ski. [4] [5] With most of the pictures, illustrated by an unknown artist Junko Graat, there are footnotes that provide more theoretical reflections, and explain the importance of a scene.
Perry is a monthly agony aunt for Red magazine [10] and, since June 2021, for The Observer. [16] She appeared on BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity in November 2019. Her hypothetical donation to this imaginary museum was "A swarm of fruit flies".
