About this product

Product Information

In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she'd never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital to be treated for depression. She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital renowned for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles. A clear-sighted, unflinching work that provokes questions about our definitions of sane and insane, Kaysen's extraordinary memoir encompasses horror and razor-edged perception while providing vivid portraits of her fellow patients and their keepers.

  • Girl, Interrupted. Excellent book

    A very enjoyable read especially if you have seen the film. The film itself does not give the full story and also adds things differently. The writing itself is very disorganised in the time line. I beleive this to be what I enjoyed about it. A borderline typically has disorganised patterns of behaviour and ways of thinking so its only right that the book gives that true feeling of this disorganised way of life. Talking from experience it was almost a breakthrough to see what I can't say written on paper. I did not put it down and infact I wish it were longer. I actually wanted to know more. A very good example of writing from a very talented lady. I would like my family to read it so that they have some kind of idea of the way My own mind works. I would even say it's a book that you could read over and over again. The more you read it the more you can comprehend about the vast differences in the way a borderline perceives the world. Loved it.
