I want to know what it was like to have crossed into the realm of madness. After all, I did it. I went mad. Why can't I have the secret knowledge that comes with it? How do you write a memoir when you have lost your memories? She awakens in hospital, greeted by nurses and patients she doesn't recognise, but who address her with familiarity.
