An eloquent and timely attempt to understand the conundrum of addiction - and a memoir as devastating as it is riveting.... A searingly powerful memoir about the impact of addiction on a family. In the summer of 2012, a woman named Eva was found dead in the London townhouse she shared with her husband, Hans K. Rausing. The couple had struggled with drug addiction for years, often under the glare of tabloid headlines. Now, writing with singular clarity and restraint, Hans´ sister, the editor and publisher Sigrid Rausing, tries to make sense of what happened. In Mayhem, she asks the difficult questions those close to the world of addiction must face. "Who can help the addict, consumed by a shaming hunger, a need beyond control? There is no medicine: the drugs are the medicine. And who can help their families, so implicated in the self-destruction of the addict? Who can help when the very notion of ´help´ becomes synonymous with an exercise of power; a familial police state; an end to freedom, in the addict´s mind?" An eloquent and timely attempt to understand the conundrum of addiction - and a memoir as devastating as it is riveting. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Maggie Gyllenhaal. Audio sample: http://samples.audible.de/bk/rand/005231de/bk_rhde_002536_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

A powerful, clear-eyed memoir about the impact of addiction on a family In the summer of 2012 American-born Eva Rausing was found dead of a drug overdose in the London townhouse she shared with her husband, Hans Kristian Rausing. The couple had struggled with addiction for years, often under the glare of tabloid headlines. Now, writing with singular clarity and restraint, Hans's sister Sigrid Rausing, a highly regarded publisher, editor, and writer, attempts to make sense of what happened. With compassion and eloquence she traces Hans's and Eva's addiction, their increasing isolation and paranoia, and the shattering events that preceded Eva's sudden, tragic death. But this book goes beyond the story of two people, or even of a single family: it also pulls the lens back to investigate the nature of addiction generally. Rausing draws upon her background as an anthropologist, referencing a variety of sources from classic psychological studies to provocative works of art. Mayhem is a memoir about witnessing addiction, and how the very notion of "help" can become synonymous with an exercise of power and an end to freedom in the addict's mind. It is about how to write about a family that is both public and intensely private, and about how writing itself can feel like an act of betrayal. A memoir that is as riveting and poignant as it is necessary.
