Summary: Fatal Reflection is not a crime novel but has criminal overtones in that the main character is assaulted by a relentless killer, Anorexia Nervosa. Alexandra takes us, chapter by chapter, through her relentless fight against a determined enemy. She tells it how it is, does not shy away from exposing her own weaknesses, nor does she underestimate the ferocity of the battles she must win. Her writing skill allows us into her private world where she paints vivid pictures of skirmishes and battles, not only with Anorexia, but also the medical authorities. She gives an honest and factual account of her battle with this deadly disease which may help sufferers, carers and particularly professionals to understand a little more about it. First, know your enemy. Alexandra was an inpatient at the Bethlem Royal Hospital.
