{"product_id":"beautiful-girls-melissa-lee-houghton-9781908058034","title":"Beautiful Girls","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Beautiful Girls is not a book for the faint-hearted. The reader has been invited to a sleepover at the asylum, a night in which five-year old girls drift alone through the wards, where the mentally unstable do sit-ups when nobody is watching and where heaven is a place between \"the sky and the planets\" reserved for those with personality disorders. The book will be a home-to-home for sufferers and a journey through terrible night for those who've been fortunate enough to take the non-scenic route in life. [...] Mental suffering is here shown in all its nocturnal and diurnal detail: the nurses, the drugs, the lack of sleep; the disconnect from the yearned-for true self. Beautiful Girls will survive as a testament to poetry's force in overcoming.\"\u003cbr\u003e- \u003cstrong\u003eChris McCabe\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMelissa Lee-Houghton\u003c\/strong\u003e was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester in 1982.
