I really enjoyed this read.

It was first published in 1979 and talks of mental health and women. Having lived in 79 I know this was not a 'big issue' then no one knew of it as it wasn;t talked about like it is today.. Mommy's little helpers were kept under wraps.

It is a powerful read and although it has aged quite well I would love to read a more modern version and see how the main character would fair today

A very strange, very fun book. This book explores the way that mentally ill women are treated in society. It was heartbreaking at times, especially when Ellen takes over and is more lucid, seeing the way in which she was treated so poorly by men. Despite being written in the late 1970s, the messaging is still relevant today.

The Princess of 72nd Street by Elaine Kraf explores women's mental health in an experimental way. A challenging but rewarding read.

3.5 stars
A thrilling take on mental health, manic episodes and womens rights, this book was interesting to read. The unreliable narrator added to the entertainment and also saved this book, I think if it was narrated in a typical way it might have lost some of its charm and excitement. The commentary on women and their rights in society was also interesting and added to the book, overall a fun short read.
