For years Sigrid Rausing watched helplessly as her brother Hans and his wife Eva succumbed to drug addiction. It afflicted a terrible toll on their family, culminating in Eva's tragic early death. As this death led to inquest and media circus, the world looked on in horror, but few understood the suffering endured by the Rausing family.
InMayhem, Sigrid explores the collateral damage addiction wreaks on loved ones. Telling her family's story, she examines painful and rarely discussed questions. What is it like to live with addiction in the family? How can you help without hurting the one you love? And what does it mean to survive another's addiction?

Recenzii
Fierce,
lyrical,
and
lucid
memoir
A profoundly articulate and harrowing memoirof a family grappling with addiction...I was impressed and moved
A short, intense and moving memoir... a poignant and at times harrowing account that testifies to the resilience of the human spirit
Powerful and spare... her elisions and prevarications have a striking effect
Such aunique and hauntingstory to tell
What gives this book its astonishing power is not the guilt, but theintelligence and literary skill. Beautifully structured... Rausing sets the scene with painterly delicacy and then steps back to analyse the implications of what she has revealed
A deeply felt memorial to a lost brother...a finely written memoir
Riveting, clear-sighted and exceptionally articulate...heartbreaking...her literary and psychoanalytic fluency gives the book an impact that feels arrestingly honest
Touched by itsbravery, sincerity and the frequent beautyof the writing
In this slim, stoic memoir... Rausing thoughtfully, painstakingly, works a deep groove into the stubborn surface of certain bedevilling questions: "How do you write about addiction?"...I nodded and sometimes cried. I wanted to invite the author over for tea
Publisher's description. A courageous and clear-sighted memoir about addiction and its terrible repercussions within a family. In 2012, Hans Rausing, heir to the vast Tetrapak fortune, was pulled over by the police while driving erratically across Wandsworth Bridge. What those police officers eventually found would shock the world...
