Sorrow and Bliss

Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason, 337 pages

Martha Friel was once a promising writer married to an absolute gem of a husband, a man that everyone loves. But now at 40, Martha's lifelong struggle with mental illness is making her push away that lovely husband and stalling her career. There aren't a lot of great ways to describe this book, but it's a wonderful examination of the toll of mental illness and misdiagnoses and living up to family expectations. Martha is a prickly and dryly funny character, and this book was great.
