The Make-Believe: A Memoir of Magic and Madness

Descriere si caracteristici

Fame, magic, mental illness: a star’s shocking descent and powerful recovery. From the actor in Skins and Game of Thrones, a deeply intimate, shockingly honest memoir about acting, fame, mental illness, and the struggle to leave a cult-like organization whose belief in magic shattered Hannah’s reality. In 2017, Hannah Murray was a successful actor whose career had taken her to Hollywood and given her the opportunity to act with A-list stars and Oscar-winning directors. But as the daily costs of acting grew, from the degradations of auditions to repeating violent scenes over and over, Hannah found herself searching for something to make her feel better. One day, a reiki healer promises her a new kind of treatment, a kind of magic, and all of a sudden Hannah’s life is changed. Back in London, she becomes increasingly involved with the organization behind the magic, an organization whose charismatic leader, promises of secret knowledge, and increasingly complex rituals, are seductive, cult-like – and ultimately destructive, as Hannah finds herself on a week-long course from her friends and family – and her sanity falls apart. Detained in hospital, she struggles to understand the difference between what’s real and what’s imagined. The result is a propulsive, shockingly honest, and extraordinarily intimate portrayal of a mind taken over the edge. From the outer edges of fame, through Hollywood film sets and London parties, Hannah’s life has slowly moved from that of a successful starlet to that of a young woman seduced by the magical thinking of an organization that promises health and happiness beyond her wildest dreams, but her reality becomes far more disturbing than she could ever have imagined. Shocking, intimate, and compulsive, The Make-Believe is an ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience, and the power of belief.
