'Beautiful and heart-rending . . . I could smell Africa on every
page' - A. A. Gill Caroline Jones was born in Ethiopia and spent
most of her childhood in East Africa. She read French and Spanish
at Oxford University and went on to make documentaries for the BBC.
Now aged 39, she is happily married with two children. Yet beneath
this seemingly perfect public exterior, Caroline was in fact
privately indulging in a pattern of destructive behaviour that left
her exhausted, anxious, depressed and full of self-loathing - from
the ages of 17 to 31, for 14 years, Caroline was suffering from an
extremely widespread yet comparatively little-talked about mental
illness - bulimia. Caroline is articulate, intelligent, insightful
and frank about her experiences, interweaving the journey of her
illness with memories of her African childhood, her time at Oxford,
her work for the BBC, her family and other relationships, making
for a warm and engaging memoir. Her perceptive, retrospective
approach to her illness allows her to transcend the topic of
bulimia and talk more generally about self-destructive behaviour -
there are lessons here which will speak to a little part of
everyone.
