Synopsis

Ten days after the birth of her second child, Fiona Shaw was hospitalized in a state of suicidal despair. She entered a world on the edge of madness. In this book Shaw describes the months in hospital, the terrors of electric shock treatment, the memory loss that resulted, her violence against herself etc. Shaken by her psychiatric treatment and angry that no one helped her to discover why this happened she begins to search for causes and meaning as she pieces together the jigsaw of her childhood and adolescence. She uses her fragmented recollections, her own medical notes, her friend's and her husband's memories to create an extraordinary memoir.
