The rhapsodic, ground-breaking cult classic about a young woman's battle with schizophreniaSixteen-year-old Deborah is receding from the world. Each day she finds it harder to leave her haunted, enveloping inner kingdom of Yr, where private tormentors ply their lush violences. With her future and her sanity at stake, Deborah enters a psychiatric hospital where she will spend the next three years searching for 'normality', with the help of a gifted, compassionate psychiatrist. First published in 1964, this novel - a fictionalized autobiography - remains as poignant, intoxicating, and surprising today as when it was first published.
