Autorenporträt
Lumi Winterson shares a rare first-person account of schizophrenia, contributing an essential marginal voice from a condition that affects so many but is often unheard. Dubbed an "expert by experience", Lumi is now well enough to share her story in hopes that it will reach others interested in the area. Included is also a chapter written by her mother, giving a vital carer's perspective.
