As the treatments at this \"factory\" progressed, the writer's memories began to disappear. What good is a writer without her memory? This book, based on the author's experiences, is an eloquent and profound attempt to hold on to the past, to create a story, to make sense, and to keep alive ties to family, friends, and even oneself. Moments from childhood, youth, marriage, parenting, and divorce flicker across the pages of \u003ci\u003eOctober Child\u003c\/i\u003e. This is the story of one woman's struggle against mental illness and isolation. It is a raw testimony of how writing can preserve and heal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"World Editions","offers":[{"title":"October Child | Linda Boström Knausgård | Quality | 9781642860894 | New | Memoir 1389839","offer_id":50558756126978,"sku":"1389839","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/41I6stA8_OL.jpg?v=1790669221","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/october-child","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
