Über diesen Titel

Clare Dunkle seemed to have an ideal life - two beautiful, high-achieving teenage daughters, a loving husband, and a satisfying and successful career as a children's book novelist. But it's when you let down your guard that the ax falls. Just after one daughter successfully conquered her depression, another daughter developed a life-threatening eating disorder.

Copublished with Elena Vanishing, the memoir of her daughter, this is the story - told in brave, beautifully written, and unflinchingly honest prose - of one family's fight against a deadly disease from an often ignored but important perspective: the mother of the anorexic.

Honestly, what a load of waffle of an self-absorbed selfish woman, who only got children to show she would be a better mom than her own. She marvels in being the victim, making everything about herself without taking on any responsibility. She doesn't even try to understand her children just marvelling in her supposed briliance as a writer using her girls as her entertainment when they are well and discarding them when she wants to stay in her own dream world. She is refusing to see her part in the illness of both girls complaining all the time that she is treated as the 'witch'. She is making everything worse by controlling and nosing into her daughter's buissness pushing her deeper into it by constant nagging. The narrator is pretty annoying too especially when trying to perform children's voices. Complete waste of time. The only parts that are mildly interesting are when her daughter talks to her for the memoir and they are way too short to make it bearable to sit through this pity party of a drama queen.
