Este livro é um relato autobiográfico ficcionalizado sobre a mente tumultuada e sua internação em um hospital psiquiátrico na década de 1960.
Eu sempre quis ler esse livro e ver o filme inspirado nele, a jornada dela de saúde mental e sua compaixão foram coisas que me atraíram bastante.
A escrita da Susanna é fluida e é possível realizar uma leitura rápida (principalmente por ser em torno de 200 páginas).
Essa é uma leitura que recomendo para quem quer ler sobre uma pessoa que sofre de doenças mentais, enquanto ele não vai sufocar o leitor com descrições mais do que as necessárias para a jornada.

This requires quite a few content warnings, so I’ll include them below!

This was an intense read. I had to skim over some parts that were triggering. But other parts really drew me in and I finished it off in 2 sittings 😳

I can’t say that the writing itself was particularly engaging, but the content was fascinating! I can’t believe it’s based on a true story either. 3.5/3.75 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
