Les merEt skjellsettende gløtt inn i psykiatrien gjennom blikket til en som jobber på innsiden. Med det siste lobotomiinngrepet i Norge i 1974 ble psykiatriens overgrepshistorie erklært avsluttet. Men fortsatt er rommene lukket. De moderne overgrepene er tilpasset vår tid. Vi ser dem ikke. Lukkede rom skaper kulturer hvor utydelig diagnostikk, mangel på retningslinjer og maktmisbruk råder. Tilfeldigheter og den enkelte behandlers skjønn får fritt spillerom. Ubegrunnet tvang og skadelig medisinbruk ties ihjel. Myke overtramp skjules av psykoterapiens godhetsteppe. Usynlige valg sorterer verdige trengende fra de uverdige. Tvang og tvil stiller nysgjerrigheten og vekker frykten. Boka er så spennende som bare virkeligheten kan være. Historien er både hverdagslig og fremmed. Forfatteren viser frem en underlig, skremmende og rørende verden, med skjebner du aldri vil glemme.
Les merThere have been many great and enduring works of literature by Caribbean authors over the last century. The Caribbean Contemporary Classics collection celebrates these deep and vibrant stories, overflowing with life and acute observations about society. Written as a series of letters from the child Sunshine to her absent mother, Aunt Jen traces the changing attitudes of a child entering adulthood as she tries to understand the truth behind her mother''s departure, and make sense of her relationship with her family.

A companion novel to Letters Home, Aunt Jen is a painfully one-sided correspondence, revealing the complex inheritance we pass on to our children. Suitable for readers aged 14 and above.
