A poignant story about living with a mental health condition, offering insight and hope.
Anne Buist, co-author of bestselling novel The Glass House & Chair of Women's Health, University of Melbourne
As Sydney gears up for the 2000 Olympics, Angelica Fletcher is ready to rewrite her life.
Dissatisfied with her conventional existence, she conjures up a feisty alter ego called Elena. But as Elena grows beyond Angie's control, the line between reality and imagination blurs, sending shockwaves through those around her.
Angie's husband, Jimmy, scrambles to keep up with her boundless exuberance. Her friend Sinéad is drawn to her spark, unaware of the darkness beneath. And for her mother, Norah, Angie's wild antics stir up long-buried ghosts.
Angie is making the most of her borrowed life, but how long can this last before she realises what Elena represents?
With intelligence and sensitivity, this award-winning novel explores the complexities of living with a mental health condition, the transformative power of healing, and the need for balance and authenticity in our lives.
