Closed since the 1990s, as part of a nationwide shuttering of psychiatric institutions, the buildings now stand derelict and overgrown. But in the recent past, the name 'Severalls' resounded with dread and fear, entering local lexicon as a place where the strange, deranged and dangerous were 'kept away'.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAmong those strange, deranged and dangerous people were Tom's own parents. The Bullet is a memoir of their time in Severalls, and the breakdowns and difficulties that led them there - often against their will. It is also Tom's own story of his struggle with his fragmenting mental health - a hereditary bullet he believed he'd dodged - and the extraordinary physical crises that precipitated them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeeply moving, clear-sighted and enormously poignant, The Bullet is a window onto the treatment of mental health disorders in the UK, and a searing analysis of living with a fracturing mind.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Week Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54038252847380,"sku":"ogw1789773473395","price":12.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1011\/7627\/9316\/files\/the-bullet-by-tom-lee_1.jpg?v=1789773477","url":"https:\/\/straphemfit.shop\/products\/the-bullet-by-tom-lee","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
