From 2013 to 2017, Linda Boström Knausgård was periodically interned in a psychiatric ward where she was subjected to electroconvulsive therapy. As the treatments at this ‘factory’ progressed, the writer’s memories began to disappear.

What good is a writer without her memory?

This book, based on the author’s experiences, is an eloquent and profound attempt to hold on to the past, to create a story, to make sense and to keep alive ties to family, friends and even oneself. Moments from childhood, youth, her marriage to Karl Ove Knausgaard , parenting and divorce flicker during October Child. This is the story of one woman’s struggle against mental illness and isolation. It is a raw testimony of how writing can preserve and heal.
