A Daughter's Journey Through Her Mother's Madness
Memory begins with a haunting image: a woman perched on a fifth-story window ledge, ambulance lights below transformed in her mind into leopard eyes. This is Mira Bartok's mother, a gifted pianist diagnosed with schizophrenia, preparing to "enter the land of birds and fire." This extraordinary memoir plunges us immediately into the disorienting world of loving someone with severe mental illness. The story unfolds like a memory palace itself-rooms of recollection housing both beauty and terror, revealing how one woman navigated the impossible choice between self-preservation and caring for a parent who could not be saved. Have you ever wondered what it costs to love someone whose mind has become their prison?
