Description
Pelmanism is a powerful exploration of mental illness and its impact on those around us. Through a unique system of memory training, the author weaves together fragments of family life to reveal the complex and often bitter relationship between a young woman and her father.
As Gala returns to visit her estranged father after two years away, memories from childhood to young adulthood begin to resurface, leading to a heart-wrenching reunion. This razor-sharp portrait of mental illness is both poignant and thought-provoking.
A deeply moving portrayal of the human experience, Pelmanism is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of family relationships and the effects of mental health on those around us.
