A review by zeldasayre
The Memory of Light by Francisco X. Stork

5.0

I'm crying. Four years ago, I tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of sleeping pills (much like Vicky, our main character). My stay in the psychiatric ward was not, unfortunately, like Vicky's and I still think of that experience often, and whether or not I should have stayed longer, etc. I am so overjoyed that I picked this book up. I almost feel as if I've come to some sort of understanding with my depression and why I wanted to take my life. I'm having a hard time putting my feelings into words but I will say: read this book. Read it now. Maybe it will help someone else.
