Description
At twelve years old, a voice takes hold of Oihana's life. A cold, methodical, relentless voice that demands thinness and punishes every deviation. Within months, her world turns into a living nightmare: calories obsessively counted, rituals multiplying, fainting spells, hospitalizations, parents fighting desperately for solutions. Eight years during which her body slowly disappears.This raw and deeply honest memoir plunges into the inner mechanics of anorexia: the terror of "gaining weight," the numbing cold gnawing at the bones, shame, isolation, and obsessive compulsions invading every gesture. But it also sheds light on the fragile forces that keep her alive-studies pursued despite exhaustion, unwavering family support, friendships that endure, and finally love. The love of a man who offers refuge rather than judgment, whose presence begins to crack the grip of The Voice. Through this bond, Oihana slowly reclaims her body, her freedom, and her life.Tears and Bones is a powerful and essential testimony for loved ones, educators, caregivers, and anyone seeking to understand anorexia. A harrowing and intensely moving account, told with rare sincerity.
