Description

W-3 A Memoir by Bette Howland is a vivid and often humorous portrait of life in a psychiatric ward. In 1968, at thirty-one, Howland was struggling to support her family as a single mother and writer, until she found herself in a desperate situation that would change the course of her life forever. The book itself became her salvation: she wrote herself out of the grave. Originally published in 1974, W-3 has been rediscovered forty years later, with an original introduction by Yiyun Li. This is the first edition to be published in the UK, offering a unique glimpse into a defining moment in a writer's life. With its honest and often surprising account of life on Ward 3, W-3 A Memoir is a remarkable record of one woman's journey towards recovery and self-discovery.
