Summary

Quiet on set, please.

Enter Lynette-actor, writer, director, showrunner, and star of the final movie in her head. Which is a farce, a comedy, a tragedy - or just her life.

Here's what you need to know about Lynette:

It's her birthday.
She's waking up in a hotel room, hungover, in a dreary English seaside town. Outside are grey skies, crazy golf, a row of Border Defence huts.
She hasn't worked in a while (she hasn't been very well). But maybe you recognize her from that television drama that ran and ran? People often do.

Today is a difficult day. She has jobs to do. The ghost of the past must be met, the ills of the
present slain. Knowing Lynette, she won't go gently into that good night.

' Burn and Rave swerves around the bends of the human heart, and then miraculously delivers you home. It left me inspired, consoled, and thankful.' Samantha Harvey

'No one writes like Max Porter and it's a thrill to watch him play with form, and to break the bounds of literature again and again.' Douglas Stuart

'Brilliant and sad and audacious and bonkers. I loved it.' Maggie O'Farrell
