I love how Joan explains what schizophrenia really is, as opposed to the normal misconception: a splitting of the mind, and not multiple personalities.
The tone is one of stark reality imbued with optimism. The portrayal of mental illness in a negative light only contributes to the stigmatisation of schizophrenics.
The reader is educated about mental illness through the characters' interactions.
A must-read.
