An autobiographical account written in French in 1943 by British artist Leonora Carrington. She recalls the days in 1940 when, having fled to Spain after Max Ernst was interned in a camp in France, she suffered a mental breakdown and was committed to a sanatorium in Santander, where she was subjected to her doctor's brutal methods.

Who it's for
For readers interested in surrealism, in Carrington's life, or in first-person accounts of madness and how it was treated. It is a very short text, told precisely and without self-pity, but it is hard going.

Written with the help of AI from todostuslibros and Wikipedia, without giving away the ending, and reviewed by a person.

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
