In 1967, after a session with a psychiatrist she\'d never seen before, eighteen-year-old Susanna Kaysen was put in a taxi and sent to McLean Hospital to be treated for depression.
A clear-sighted, unflinching work that provokes questions about our definitions of sane and insane, Kaysen\'s extraordinary memoir.
She spent most of the next two years on the ward for teenage girls in a psychiatric hospital renowned for its famous clientele - Sylvia Plath, Robert Lowell, James Taylor and Ray Charles.
