Aimee Liu, who wrote Solitaire, the first-ever memoir of anorexia,
in 1979, returns to the subject nearly three decades later and
shares her story and those of the many women in her age group of
life beyond this life-altering ailment. She has extensively
researched the origins and effects of both anorexia and bulimia,
and dispels many commonly held myths about these diseases with the
persuasive conclusion that anorexia is a result of personality.
Key revelations include: the temperament required for eating
disorders, the long-term effects of eating disorders on health,
brain function, relationships and career, why some individuals
recover while others relapse, and why many relapse in mid-life,
Which treatment approaches are most successful long-term and how
parents can tell if a child will be vulnerable to eating
disorders.
Using her own experience and the stories of many recovering
anorexics she's interviewed, Liu weaves together a narrative that
is both persuasive in argument and compelling in personal details.
