The Trick is to Keep Breathing

Janice Galloway


A bleakly humourous first novel about the experience of depression. Winner of the Mind Book of the year.

Gill liked this book, which is about a woman having a mental breakdown in totally understandable circumstances, having suffered a trauma. Gill admitted that she probably liked it because it re-inforced her own views of mental health care in this country, in particular that available in mental hospitals.

This didn't pass the 60 page test. Very depressing but Andrew acknowledged he may not have been in the right mood for it.
