Girl, Interrupted

“Girl, Interrupted” by Susanna Kaysen became a cult book of its time, but its real popularity came years later, when James Mangold made the film of the same name starring Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. “Girl, Interrupted” is an autobiographical novel about a difficult period in the life of an ordinary girl. After a failed suicide attempt, the young heroine ends up in a “parallel universe”—a psychiatric hospital. And from that moment on, everything she knew about the outside world, about people, and even about herself, is called into question.
