Dancing on Broken Glass
by Ka Hancock
This book is brilliant and awful and heartbreaking and lovely. Because of my day job, I tend not to read books about mental illness or substance use disorders; doing so makes me feel as though I’m putting in overtime.
However, Ka Hancock’s debut novel was an exquisitely written description of bipolar disorder. It’s ugly and devastating, but Hancock didn’t shy away. And, more importantly, she didn’t stigmatize.
This isn’t chick-lit, and it’s not an easy read. It’s a painful story of love and loss, but I honestly feel as though I’m a better person for having read it.
