What follows is a frenzied journey from home to a community house to a hospital and out again.

Having studied psychology herself, she wonders whether, even if the diagnosis is correct to some extent, the treatment should be different. Sanya tells her story in a deceptively calm, first-person voice, using conversations as the primary narrative mode, as she ponders if and when the next psychotic episode will materialize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on real-life events and originally written in Bengali, \u003ci\u003eHospital\u003c\/i\u003e is a daring first novel that unflinchingly depicts the precarity of a woman living with psychosis and her struggles with the definition of sanity in our society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seagull Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781803091723\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Seagull Books","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £7.39","offer_id":47917319454897,"sku":"SB-180309172X-C2","price":7.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/180309172X.jpg?v=1789701505","url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/products\/hospital-1","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
