Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Bella Mackie emerged from north London with a background shaped by journalism and by long, private struggles with mental health. Raised in Kentish Town by Alan Rusbridger and Lindsay Mackie, she has described anxiety as a childhood presence, with OCD becoming pronounced by about age 11. The transition to secondary school was difficult, and at 19 she left university when her anxiety intensified. Her adult turning point came later, after the collapse of a brief first marriage: running, first attempted almost experimentally, became the habit that helped her re-enter London, travel again, return to the Tube, and rebuild daily confidence.
