<p><i>Crazy isn't being broken or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me amplified. If you ever told a lie and enjoyed it. If you ever wished you could be a child forever.</i></p><p>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. Unflinchingly honest and darkly funny, this bestselling memoir is a sharply vivid portrait of Susanna's fellow patients, the kaleidoscopically shifting world of the late sixties, and how sometimes the only way to stay sane is to go a little crazy.</p><p><b>'<i>Girl, Interrupted</i> is a beautiful, complex story that truly led the way on opening up a new, brave, nuanced approach to talking about women's mental health. An intense and personal story that taps into a universal truth about how the world responds to complicated young women' SCARLETT CURTIS</b><br><b><br> 'Poignant, honest and triumphantly funny . . . A compelling and heartbreaking story' NEW YORK TIMES</b><br><b><br>'Not since Sylvia Plath's <i>The Bell Jar</i> has a personal account of life in a mental hospital achieved as much popularity and acclaim' <i>TIME</i></b><br><b><br>'A cool, elegant and unexpectedly funny memoir' <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i></b><br><b> <br>'Memorable and stirring' <i>VOGUE</i></b></p>
