The Shock of the Fall

Shock_of_the_Fall

An excellent portrayal of schizophrenia. Agree with Jo Brand that it’s touching and sad but I felt it fizzled out a bit at the end. Similar to Elizabeth is Missing in that respect; extremely detailed and convincing portrayal of an illness but unsatisfying ending, although in this case, the author does specifically say it’s a beginning rather than an end so perhaps I’ll concede for that reason. I would recommend this book. It makes me feel sorry for Vijaymama.
