'Raw, frank and utterly heartfelt, but full of love and joy too,
one of the most moving and uplifting memoirs I've ever read.' Daisy
Buchanan 'Evanna's account of overcoming an eating disorder gives
an unsparing insight into the mental health system, and the journey
to true recovery. A beautifully courageous and honest memoir.'
Bonnie Wright 'As well as charting her adolescent battle with
anorexia, it offers a darkly compelling, highly topical account of
journeying from girlhood to womanhood in the spotlight of global
celebrity.' The Mail on Sunday 'A raw and powerful memoir, it
shares lessons banishing self-hatred.' The Sunday Telegraph
'Gradually, I began to feel this dawning awareness that womanhood
was coming for me, that it was looming inevitably, and it didn't
feel safe...' Evanna Lynch has long been viewed as a role model for
people recovering from anorexia and the story of her casting as
Luna Lovegood in the Harry Potter films has reached almost mythic
proportions. Here, in her fascinating new memoir, Evanna confronts
all the complexities and contradictions within herself and reveals
how she overcame a life-threatening eating disorder, began to
conquer her self-hate and confronted her fear of leaving the
neatness and safety of girlhood for the unpredictable journey of
being a woman, all in the glare of the spotlight of international
fame. Delving into the very heart of a woman's relationship with
her own body, Evanna explores the pivotal moments and choices in
her life that led her down the path of creativity and dreaming and
away from the empty pursuit of perfection, and reaches towards
acceptance of the wild, sensual and unpredictable reality of
womanhood. This is a story of the tragedy and the glory of growing
up, of mourning girlhood and stepping into the unknown, and how
that act of courage is the most magical and creatively liberating
thing a woman can do.
