About the book: 2021 / Twenty-three-year-old Elizabeth Richmond faced the fate of a modest gray mouse: every day she went to work in the museum office and spent the evenings in the company of her neurotic Aunt Morgen. But the routine calm of her life is suddenly disrupted by terrible migraines and back pain, and then strange attacks of amnesia. Elizabeth begins to go to a psychiatrist, and at one of the sessions, Dr. Wright, having decided to use hypnosis for treatment, realizes that in front of him is not one girl at all, but four separate self-destructive personalities... “Bird's Nest” is a masterpiece of a psychological novel about the nature of darkness within us, in which Jackson was one of the first to address the topic of multiple personality disorder, which became especially popular after the publication of “The Secret Case of Billy Milligan” by Daniel Keyes.
