I Know This Much Is True - wally lamb

[nannyme]

I finished this at the weekend and ohhhhh I was so moved by it.

We have a very close friend with a partial scizophrenia diagnosis and it seemed very well researched and was also very helpful for me to read.

I don't know, hit the spot in so many ways - I had an 'out loud' emotional reaction to this that I didn't even manage when reading 'Kevin'.

Anyone else? I am not elucidating very well here, not sure where to start, I was so affected.

I absolutely loved this book and felt bereaved when it was finished.

I loved this book too. Have you read, She's come undone?

I felt like I had to hurry up and finish it towards the end - it was having the strange effect (got it right this time!) of making me feel emotionally discombobulated. A feeling which I didn't feel would ease until the final pages.

I haven't read She's Come Undone lucy5 but probably shall do now!

Not sure what I feel about the political aspect of the book and whether this was the vehical which carried the story or the other way around??

Either way, I felt that it was a very brave book (so many threads, and a book inside a book!) but nevertheless a great triumph.
