This book was donated at my World Book Night celebration and I decided to read it myself before sending it on a journey. I've never been artistic so I found it thought-provoking to read about the artist's creative processes and the complex interplay between her talent and bipolarity. The story also provided a pleasantly positive view of moderate Quakerism, which was in interesting contrast to the depressing portrayal of Quakerism in the excellent film "Son of Rambow". A thought-provoking book all round. I'm sending this on via a friend and I hope others will enjoy it too.
