Publisher Description
Jamila Rizvi and Rosie Waterland have each suffered significant, debilitating brain injury – one through rare disease and the medical interventions that followed, the other through deep childhood trauma.
In this brave and honest book, Jamila and Rosie share their parallel stories of becoming and being sick, alongside the experience and advice of those who’ve been there before. They reveal that their ‘broken brains’ have more in common than they initially realised, proving how mental and physical health are inextricably entwined.
Part memoir and part investigation, Broken Brains is essential reading for anyone who has been sick or loved someone who has. Together, Jamila and Rosie offer bekvämlighet, solidarity and understanding in this sometimes funny, sometimes brutal, but always generous book about living with chronic ill health.
