Archival Quality by Ivy Noelle Weir
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I wouldn’t say this book is semi-autobiographical, but the author does know about mental illness and archiving medical history.
Cel, the main character, has such a job, and the mental illness, but she loves the structure of doing this sort of work.
If you pick up and only read the first few pages, you might say, “what the heck is going on,” which is what I did, but then I got past that, and realized that this was a pretty cool little story of the bad things that happened to people of mental illness in the bad-old-days.
Well written, and it shows that the author know from where these expereinces and feelings come from.
You have to be in the mood, a bit, because this is quick, but not easy. There is pain and sadness, but homor too.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
