From 80s movies, fashion and life advice to her family memoir House of Glass and writing for The Guardian and now the Sunday Times, Hadley Freeman has won global acclaim for her engaging combination of personal experience with journalistic skills.

Praised by the Wall Street Journal for “sharp storytelling, solid research and gentle humour”, Good Girls: A Story & Study of Anorexia is her honest and hopeful story of how she overcame one of the most widely discussed but least understood mental illnesses, from teenage years in psychiatric wards to grappling with self-destructive behaviour over the next two decades.
