Closed since the 1990s, as part of a nationwide shuttering of psychiatric institutions, the buildings now stand derelict and overgrown. But in the recent past, the name 'Severalls' resounded with dread and fear, entering local lexicon as a place where the strange, deranged and dangerous were 'kept away'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmong those strange, deranged and dangerous people were Tom's own parents. The Bullet is a memoir of their time in Severalls, and the breakdowns and difficulties that led them there - often against their will. It is also Tom's own story of his struggle with his fragmenting mental health - a hereditary bullet he believed he'd dodged - and the extraordinary physical crises that precipitated them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeeply moving, clear-sighted and enormously poignant, The Bullet is a window onto the treatment of mental health disorders in the UK, and a searing analysis of living with a fracturing mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Week Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48406150545653,"sku":"9781783785049","price":14.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8274\/2261\/files\/9781783785049.jpg?v=1783969538","url":"https:\/\/nortrano.com\/products\/the-bullet-by-tom-lee","provider":"nortrano","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
