Description du livre
"Tears and bones" is an autobiographical first-person account of a 12-year-old girl's gradual descent into anorexia nervosa. Oihana Bachelet was a prisoner of this disease until she was 20, when it gradually set her free. She is now 25.
The story also recounts her stays in pediatric and psychiatric hospitals, the experience of several years of distant schooling and her return to social life after years cut off from the world.
This deeply moving account sheds light on the mechanisms of this disorder: the Inner Voice, body obsessions, the pressure to perform, but also the love of loved ones, often powerless in the face of this nightmare.
This story is also a magnificent testimony of hope to anorexics and their loved ones.
