Good Girls

A Story and Study of Anorexia

De: Hadley Freeman

Narrado por: Hadley Freeman

A BEST BOOK OF 2023 IN THE TIMES, GUARDIAN AND WALL STREET JOURNAL

From Hadley Freeman, bestselling author of House of Glass, comes a searing memoir about her experience with anorexia, and her long journey to full recovery.

From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, Freeman lived in psychiatric wards after developing anorexia nervosa. For the next twenty years, she grappled with various forms of self-destructive behaviour as the anorexia mutated and persisted.

Anorexia is one of the most widely discussed but least understood mental illnesses. In a brilliant narrative that combines personal experience with deep reporting on the issues around the illness, Freeman details her experiences with anorexia, and how she overcame it.

Good Girls is an honest and hopeful story that will be profoundly helpful for those who suffer from an eating disorder, and those who desperately want to understand them.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"For parents of girls with eating disorders, this is vital, revelatory, and deeply moving." (Caitlin Moran)

"Recounting her years of anorexia with uncommon honesty, Hadley Freeman makes a powerful case for finding the will to live." (Lauren Collins, author of When in French)

Incredible story!

I so appreciated this book! A total shift in my life! I recognised so many thoughts and patterns from being raised by a mother with the same problematic mindset! Truly amazing how Haley describes every thought that caused her to suffer more and go deeper but also what made her come out of this horrible tunnel! Thanks Haley for this detailed and very honest truth about the decease. It gave me so much insight!
