Description

Two female friends, Jenny and Claire, first meet as psychiatric nurse and patient.

Both are searching for their identity.

Claire has undiagnosed borderline personality disorder and wants to be ‘more like Jenny’. However, Jenny has her own issues, and wishes to be more like Claire.

An intense, interdependent friendship develops over decades. Will these two women come out whole in the end? Or are the edges too blurred between them for either to survive?

Publisher Review

'Captures the essence of the time and pinpoints the tricky area where the professional and personal sit uneasily in the field of mental health care. A fascinating, warm and absorbing story.' - Jo Brand, comedian, writer, presenter and actress.
