Title: But Inside I’m Screaming
Author: Elizabeth Flock
Pages: 316
Grade: A
Summary: (From the back of the book)
While breaking the hottest news story of the year, broadcast journalist Isabel Murphy falls apart on live television in front of an audience of millions. She lands at Three Breezes, a four-star psychiatric hospital nicknamed the “nut hut,” where she begins the painful process of recovering the life everyone thought she had.
But accepting her place among her fellow patients proves difficult. Isabel struggles to reconcile the fact that she is, indeed, one of them, and faces the reality that in order to mend her painfully fractured life she must rely solely on herself.
My thoughts: I liked this novel a lot. It reminded me in some ways of The Bell Jar…and I connected with this book in a way I haven’t a book since that time. Elizabeth Flock has written two novels I have immensely enjoyed. I’m glad I picked them both up on a whim one Sunday before work.
