Gasp (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Brought up by a loving family in an idyllic country village, Esme was thoughtful, imaginative and sweet. Yet by her teenage years things were starting to go badly wrong, as her mind was taken over by forces driving her on a devastating journey towards self-destruction. Esmeralda Winter's debut book tells the story of an ordinary girl who, over the years, became a monster. Esme's perceptions of her life experience are described intimately, from infancy to motherhood. Her identity struggle between victim and villian is evident as she unapologetically tells her story in the attempt to let go of her demons, and allow herself to simply be a human being. Sexual abuse, self-harm, bulimia and alcoholism are all a part of Esme's story. She hopes that her book will help other people affected by these issues to face their own truths, and to move towards peace.
