If you, or anyone around you, has lived with mental illness, this book will ring very true. I think it is an amazing account of an accomplished woman who is living with bipolar disorder. Marya Hornbacher does not play down the devastating impact of her madness. Yet, I grew to like her and enjoy her perspective on things. My only warning--don't start the book unless you have some time to sit and read it. It ruined me for all other activities until I finished.
