The Epilogue

Abstract

"This is the story of the Robinson family - and the aftermath of losing their 26 year-old daughter to bulimia. Working closely with the family Laia Abril explores the dilemmas and struggles confronted by many young girls and their families; the problems families face in dealing with both their sense of guilt and the grieving process; the frustration of close friends and the dark ghosts of this deadliest of illnesses; all blended together in the bittersweet act of remembering a loved one. Cammy Robinson's life story is reconstructed through flashbacks - memories, testimonies, objects, letters, places and images. The Epilogue gives voice to the suffering of the family, the indirect victims of 'eating disorders', the unwilling eyewitnesses of a very painful degeneration."--Back cover.
