Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Howard Dully was 12 when he was given a lobotomy, and 56 when he found out why. The 4 decades in between tell a story of profound love and compassion, and a determination to survive. For fans of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest", "Girl, Interrupted" and "A Child Called It".

Publisher's description:

Howard Dully was 12 years old when he was given a lobotomy. He was 56 years old when he found out why. In 1960, Howard's father and stepmother delivered him into the hands of the man who had invented the 'ice pick' lobotomy. This book tells the story of his escape from that place.
