Books about eating disorders?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could recommened some good books surrounding the issue of eating disorders, especially anorexia and bulimia. Perhaps you know a novel where a charcater suffers with these, or maybe you know of an author that suffered with an eating disorder and now writes about their experiences. I'm interested in finding fiction-type books, not reference/text books. Thanks! x

Answer 1

Hi.

I've read a few books from a sufferers personal perspective.
I'll link you to the amazon site that lists some of them.

Some of my favourites are:
My body my enemy
Anorexics on anorexia ( different people talking about their experiences)
Click on any book it will give you information on it as well as links to similar books.
Hope it helps.

Answer 2

I reccomend the book:
'Monkey Taming' by Judith Fathallah.

I didn't really know a lot about anorexia, but the book was recommended to me by a friend because she enjoyed it too. The book really did make an impression on me. It was very well-written in an original style.

A good read =)

Answer 3

The book Perfect by Natasha Friend is about a girl that became bulimic after her father died.
