Circles Around The Sun: In Search Of A Lost Brother by Molly McCloskey

2.0

I feel this was more of an excuse for McCloskey to write a memoir about herself in addition to writing about schizophrenia, her brother, and the impact his illness had on the family.

informative reflective slow-paced

I find it harder to rate non-fiction memoirs as I am delving into someone else’s personal experiences. Circles around the sun was a very interesting and comforting read for me as the main topic reflects many of my personal experiences too, and helped me to recognise feelings that I have been going through.

An exceptionally hard book for me to read, but very glad I have read it.
