About this work
Description
'The debut of an important new literary voice: Marin Sardy's extraordinarily affecting, fiercely intelligent memoir unflinchingly traces the path of the schizophrenia that runs in her family. Against the starkly beautiful backdrop of Anchorage, Alaska, where she grew up, Marin Sardy weaves a fearless account of the shapeless thief - schizophrenia- that kept her mother immersed in a world of private delusion and later manifested in her brother, ultimately claiming his life.'--Provided by publisher.
