All in the Mind

Author: Alastair Campbell
Publication info: Hutchinson, £17.99
ISBN: 10 0091925797

Set in modern day London, Alastair Campbell's first novel, All in the Mind, is the story of a psychiatrist, his patients and family, and the pressures they bring to bear upon each other. Drawing in part on his own experience of depression, alcohol problems and a breakdown 32 years ago, Campbell explores the limits of the human mind in what Stephen Fry, one of the first people to read the novel, describes as 'a compelling and unforgettable experience'.

Stephen Fry says: "I have rarely read a book where the agonies and insecurities of mental trauma have been so well chronicled. For all that, this is not a depressing read, although it nails depression as surely as it ever has been nailed." Anne Robinson says: "It comes as no surprise of course that he can spin a story. But it is an unexpected pleasure to discover he can tell a tale quite so brilliantly.I loved this book."
