This is a very engaging, engrossing but harrowing and heartbreaking story about how a previously happy family copes with their daughter's mental health problem and the repercussions that this has on their relationships and lives. As a mother, it was very easy to identify with Freya Braithwaite and the account of her marriage and the problems that unexpectedly beset their family. She is a food writer and food enthusiast, and there is an extreme poignancy in what happens to her daughter. The story reads like a psychological thriller in many ways, and I found it a compulsive page-turner while dreading what would happen next. It's a powerful piece of writing.
