Anorexia & Bulimia: The Hungry Heart
Angela McCarthy and Margie Thomson
Hodder Moa Beckett, 1996
Anorexia & Bulimia –
The Hungry Heart tells the stories of New Zealand women who have battled and
overcome the self-destructive and overpowering impulses that fuel their eating
disorders.
“[The authors] allow the women to tell their heart-wrenching stories with dignity”
– publisher’s blurb.
This book got a lot of media attention at time of publication, and sold out within a few months, but is still widely available in libraries. Angela and I still – even all these years later – receive occasional letters from girls and women who have read and been helped by this book.
