If you know anyone who has depression, if YOU have depression, or even if you don’t, you need to read this book. As much as this book was hard to read at times, it’s still a beautiful story that isn’t afraid to show the deep difficulties of mental illness but also shows hope and beauty and love and light. These difficult mental health problems are challenging to navigate in a way that is accurate but sensitive to others, but I thought Sara Ella did a great job portraying them.Brantlinger, Patrick (1985), "Victorians and Africans: The Genealogy of the Myth of the Dark Continent", Critical Inquiry, 12 (1): 166–203, doi: 10.
