Freeman, Laura,
The reading cure / Laura Freeman. - Rearsby : Clipper Large Print Books, 2018. - 304 pages (large print)
Standard print edition originally published: London: Weidenfeld & Nicolson.
At the age of 14, Laura Freeman was diagnosed with anorexia. She had seized the one aspect of her life that she seemed able to control, and struck different foods from her diet one by one until she was starving. But even at her lowest point, the one appetite she never lost was her love of reading. As Laura battled her anorexia, she gradually re-discovered how to enjoy food - and life more broadly - through literature. Book by book, meal by meal, Laura developed an appetite and discovered an entire library of reasons to live. 'The Reading Cure' is an inspiring account of hunger and happiness, about addiction, obsession and recovery, and about the way literature and food can restore appetite and renew hope.
