_______________ 'It's difficult to write a convincing tale of
depression that's also an entertaining romp, but Forrest has done
it' - Sunday Times 'An incredibly gifted writer ... I can't
remember the last time I ever read such a blistering, transfixing
story of obsession, heartbreak and slow, stubborn healing' -
Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat Pray Love 'Emma Forrest is as
hilarious as she is wise ... touching, funny and very real' - Gary
Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story 'Heartfelt and
touching and surprisingly funny. It's also wincingly, unflinchingly
honest' - Florence Welch, Dazed & Confused _______________ Emma
Forrest, an English journalist, was twenty-two and living in
America when she realised that her quirks had gone beyond
eccentricity. Lonely, in a dangerous cycle of self-harm and
damaging relationships, she found herself in the chair of a slim,
balding and effortlessly optimistic psychiatrist - a man whose
wisdom and humanity would wrench her from the vibrant and dangerous
tide of herself, and who would help her to recover when she tried
to end her life. Emma's loving and supportive family circled around
her in panic. She was on the brink of drowning. But she was also
still working, still exploring, still writing, and she had also
fallen deeply in love. One day, when Emma called to make an
appointment with her psychiatrist, she found no one there. He had
died, shockingly, at the age of fifty-three, leaving behind a young
family. Processing the premature death of a man who'd become her
anchor after she'd turned up on his doorstep, she was adrift. And
when her significant and all-consuming relationship also fell
apart, she was forced to cling to the page for survival. A
modern-day fairy tale of New York, Your Voice in My Head is a
dazzling and devastating memoir, clear-eyed and shot through with
wit. In a voice unlike any other, Emma Forrest explores breakdown
and mania, but also the beauty of love - and the heartbreak of
loss.
