She lost everything: her paintings, her diaries and photographs, and ultimately, her sanity. Now she sits rooted to a borrowed sofa, chain-smoking, and blackly depressed. When she finally agrees to see a psychologist, she is institutionalized immediately. Episodes from her past and present life make it clear that this crash has been a long time coming. In Ladybird Janita poignantly records her riotous experiences with counselors and characters of all kinds: from psychiatric doctors and patients in Johannesburg to a retired legionnaire in France. We trace her deepening spirituality as she embarks on her most challenging construction job yet: rebuilding the walls of her collapsed life.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"I H Pentz Booksellers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47302195347618,"sku":null,"price":150.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0364\/4047\/3732\/files\/51a9JMC9bzL.jpg?v=1780302686","url":"https:\/\/pentzbooks.co.za\/products\/ladybird-my-house-burnt-down-my-head-is-on-fire","provider":"I H Pentz Booksellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
