The Drowning Girl

Books about mental illness are often both extremely engrossing and disturbing. This book is definitely both. I could barely put it down. The main character is schizophrenic. She is an unreliable narrator, she acknowledges that she lies, and she makes a distinction between truth and factual. The story is a ghost story, or maybe it's just her illness, or maybe it's somewhere in between. This book is one of the most nominated books in a while, getting Nebula and World Fantasy Award nominations among many others, and winning the Bram Stoker and Otherwise Awards.
