Descripción Paperback. Condición: New. STAFF PICK: 'This book was my refuge, my anchor, when I was in the depths and darkness of a suicidal depression. Night Falls Fast was the only reading I could focus on. The honesty, compassion, humor and the care that Kay Redfield Jamison writes with are truly amazing. She is honest about the nature of statistics on suicide and the nature of discovering what lead up to a suicide. Jamison manages to wrap heart wrenching stories of men and women's suicides together with such love and feeling for the victim and their family, without romanticizing suicide. She always gives us an intimate view while still retaining the distance and subjectivity necessary to put suicide into perspective.' - Amanda .W. Nº de ref. del artículo: 3539623
