IMPENDING BLINDNESS OF BILLIE SCOTT OVERSIZED ED

Billie Scott is an artist. Her debut gallery exhibition opens in a few months. Within a fortnight she\'ll be completely blind. Zoe Thorogood\'s first graphic novel is a story about what it\'s like to get something you want, have it immediately taken away from you and then how you put it all back together again. Set in a world of people down on their luck from Middlesbrough to London, it\'s a graphic novel that speaks of post-austerity Britain and the problems facing those left behind. (W/A) Zoe Thorogood
