Summary |
"Alix Otto is having a very bad day. Easily her worst so far. A year since they fished her friend's body from the river, she finds herself hounded, haunted and driven to the brink. Caught in a situation she can't explain, Alix is handed over to the professionals and sectioned, left alone in a labyrinthine system with her delusions running wild. Barking is a tale of grief, madness and the ghosts that haunt us"-- Back cover. |

"Loopy... cuckoo... stark raving... When the depression and grief Alix feels over the death of her friend overwhelm her, she's institutionalised. But inside a psychiatric ward, things don't get better for her--now she has nowhere to get away from her rapidly-spiraling thoughts. As Alix navigates disinterested attendants, group therapy, and isolation, she must build herself a new equilibrium and tame the black dog of her depression. Inspired by her own struggles with mental health, Lucy Sullivan tells a powerful, emotional story about the problems that sometimes overwhelm us all--and the failures in the mental health system we depend on"-- Provided by publisher. |
