I have just finished Sorrow and Bliss and unfortunately I didn't enjoy it that much. It was depressing and off putting to me. This is the story of Martha and we see her from young age to 43 old woman and how she deals with mental health problems. How she struggles through life and medication, how she knowingly sabotages her life and her relationships, but cannot seem to stop herself. The writing is fab. But the story was just too depressing for me at this point.
