Books like The passion of Alice by Stephanie Grant


In the summer of 1984, Alice Forrester, a twenty‑five‑year‑old woman suffering from anorexia nervosa, has a heart attack that leads to her admission at Seaview Hospital, renowned for its eating‑disorder treatment program. While recovering, Alice observes and engages with a community of patients and medical staff who are all coping with the physical and emotional toll of eating disorders. Over the course of her stay, she meets a range of colorful characters—including Dr. Paul, the physician overseeing the clinic; psychiatric support staff who administer a disciplined twelve‑step treatment; the fragile, pale Gwen, whose anorexia culminates in tragedy; and Maeve, a spirited, outspoken patient whose presence challenges and broadens Alice’s perspective on her own struggle.
