The Acknowledgment is a sensitive and uncompromising novel about a young girl, Gitta, and her struggle for sanity and happiness. It is a tale of passion and deceit. It is also a story which clearly defines mental illness... it's half created, half real tensions. The reader gains a sense of the fine line between mental health and mental illness, and a realization that no one is really cured but rather gains in some ability to cope through changed beliefs. Through Gitta's experiences, the reader shares a bit of that special pain that someone on the verge of mental illness feels, and learns that even a very painful episode can be a victory simply because one survives!
