I loved it. You can feel her diving into her psychosis, and it's so fascinating and suffocating, and accurate. The book is known as an anti-“resting treatment” story, but really it shows how condescending physicians are to women and how belittling they are of their pain. The resting treatment is only a detail of an age where women were driven crazy in asylums or lobotomized for not fitting in. If anyone has a recommendation of books of that subject, I'm all ears.
