The Recovery House by Derek Owusu review – a uniquely honest view of mental health Derek Owusu's novel, The Recovery House , offers a searing exploration of mental fragility, art, and faith.
On its surface, it appears to be a deeply personal account of one man's struggle with addiction and borderline personality disorder.
However, as the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that this is also a novel about the elusiveness of understanding – not just the workings of our own minds, but also those of others.
