<p><b>''Deeply moving, darkly funny and hugely powerful'' Robert Macfarlane</b><br><br><b>''A brave, lit-up account of going mad and getting better'' Jeanette Winterson<br><br></b>After a lifetime of ups and downs, Horatio Clare was committed to hospital under Section 2 of the Mental Health Act. From hypomania in the Alps, to a complete breakdown and a locked ward in Wakefield, this is a gripping account of how the mind loses touch with reality, how we fall apart and how we may heal. <br><br>''One of the most brilliant travel writers of our day takes us now to that most challenging country, severe mental illness; and does so with such wit, warmth and humanity'' <b>Reverend Richard Coles</b></p>
