À propos de cet audio

 From Hadley Freeman, bestselling author of House of Glass, comes a “riveting” (The New York Times) memoir about her experience as an anorexic and her journey to recovery.

In 1995, Hadley Freeman wrote in her diary: “I just spent three years of my life in mental hospitals. So why am I crazier than I was before????”

From the ages of fourteen to seventeen, Freeman lived in psychiatric wards after developing anorexia nervosa. Her doctors informed her that her body was cannibalizing her muscles and heart for nutrition, but they could tell her little else: why she had it, what it felt like, what recovery looked like. For the next twenty years, Freeman lived as a “functioning anorexic,” grappling with new forms of self-destructive behavior as the anorexia mutated and persisted. Anorexia is one of the most widely discussed but least understood mental illnesses. Through “sharp storytelling, solid research and gentle humor” (The Wall Street Journal), Freeman delivers an incisive and bracing work that details her experiences with anorexia—the shame, fear, loneliness, and rage—and how she overcame it. She interviews doctors to learn how treatment for the illness has changed since she was hospitalized and what new discoveries have been made about the illness, including its connection to autism, OCD, and metabolic rate. She learns why the illness always begins during adolescence and how this reveals the difficulties for girls to come of age. Freeman tracks down the women with whom she was hospitalized and reports on how their recovery has progressed over decades.

Good Girls is an honest and hopeful story of resilience that offers a message to the nearly 30 million Americans who suffer from eating disorders: Life can be enjoyed, rather than merely endured.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Hadley Freeman’s British accent and strong sense of pacing make for easy listening on the difficult subject of anorexia. Her transitions, both in writing and in narrating, are flawless as she merges 30 years of personal experiences, interviews with professionals and patients, research about treatment and causes, humor, horror, and heart. The views she presents are thoughtful, stereotype-busting, surprising pictures of what anorexia is and is not. She dispels the typical explanation — “it’s the mother’s fault” — instead focusing on quiet trigger moments when girls fear womanhood and the sexuality and performance issues that it portends. Descriptions of her experiences are studded with poignant imagery, and her meaning is often expressed with humorous disgust — for example, when she recounts the many reasons given by professionals for her anorexia."

Amazing, Hadley, you are so good at tying all the threads of societal pressures and the contradictions of this terrible illness, you had a perspective which is only possible for someone who lived through it. A clinician would never have your insight. I am so delighted you conquered it. Thanks also for being kind to parents who feel so helpless.

So insightful

I enjoyed this story from beginning to end. It looks at anorexia from multiple viewpoints, and offers hope for those suffering. This is one of the best books about anorexia I have ever read.

Beautifully Written

Hadley is a gifted writer, who weaves in up to date information on eating disorders as she tells her own harrowing story. As someone with an eating disorder in my past (not anorexia - bulimia) I found this actually quite relatable on many levels, helping me understand my past self more deeply, and also helping me understand those I’ve known with anorexia. It is a sad story, but also one of hope. I am so glad hers has the happy ending it does. And I wish for all the same things she wishes for at the conclusion- namely a society that facilitates deep nourishment and healthy relationships with food, vast and nuanced emotional support (particularly for children, but certainly across all the ages), and a radical shift in cultural and psychological messaging around girlhood and womanhood.

Insightful, helpful and informative
