I have to say that this book really brought things into clarity for me on the facts of anorexia, as well as other eating disorders and all of its other problems. I will not forget this book because I was so emotionally invested in this book from the first chapter.
Anna is a woman in her mid twenties, who is being driven to 17 Swann Street to enter a treatment program for anorexia. Here we read about her and other girls. Anna is admitted weighing 88 pounds. It is sad to see how these girls suffer so much just to get food down, and he restricted life they are about to live.
The plot moves rapidly through this book, and through it all we see what the eating disorders do to Anna's body, mind and spirit, and the others as well. This book was heartbreaking with a sad outcome for some of the girls.
This book also explores how their disease has touched lives of their families, friends, parents, children, spouses. This disease has far reaching consequences for loved ones, and shame from the ones who are suffering from it. and losses they to suffer.
I am glad I read this book and learned about the subject of eating disorders, I had never given it much thought, and I think everyone should read this. I gave this book 5 stars!
