“Not since Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar has there been such a popular and enduring personal account of life in a psychiatric hospital” - TIME
“Smart and painful” - Guardian
“A moving, affecting memoir” - New York Times
In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she had never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen is put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital for treatment for depression. She spends most of the next two years in the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital known for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor, and Ray Charles.
A clear-cut, open novel that raises questions about the definitions of sanity and madness, Kaysen’s exceptional memoir captures horror and insight in equal measure while vividly depicting her fellow patients and their caregivers.
