We recommend this…
for anyone who would like to read about a lived experience of recovery from anorexia, and for anyone interested in reading for wellbeing (aka bibliotherapy).
A quick summary…
Laura Freeman describes her experience of anorexia with vivid clarity, but then says “This is not a book about the anguish – and it is anguish – of anorexia. Others have reported the worst of the illness with searing clarity and honesty… This book is about what comes next. About the pouring in of sunlight after more than a decade of darkness and hunger.” The Reading Cure roves across the novels that re-kindled her interest in food and life, picking out all the brilliant details that Freeman found in her voracious reading – the only appetite she never lost.
