{"product_id":"bullet","title":"Lee Tom: The Bullet [2024] hardback","description":"In August 2014, Tom Lee and his parents drove out to visit Severalls Hospital, a former in-patient psychiatric hospital. 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'. Among those strange, deranged and dangerous people were Tom's own parents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 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. Deeply 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.","brand":"Lee, Tom","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":48077853196627,"sku":"9781783785049","price":15.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/lee-tom-lee-tom-the-bullet-2024-hardback-9781783785049-60120288362835.jpg?v=1732092239","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/bullet","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
