'A surprising, thoughtful and deeply personal exploration of what it means to be a sociopath.' Pandora Sykes 'Addictively page-turning' - The Telegraph Sociopath: A Memoir is a true story of a life lived on the edge of the law and an account of one womans battle to gain a deeper understanding of people who, like her, are sociopaths. Jaw-dropping and moving in equal measure, you will be thinking about this story for a long time to come. 'Your friends would probably describe me as nice. But guess what? I can't stand your friends. I'm a liar. I'm a thief. I'm highly manipulative. I don't care what other people think. I'm capable of almost anything.' Patric Gagne knew she was different from a young age. Although feeling intense love for her family and best friend, David, these connections werent enough to make her good, or reduce her feelings of apathy and frustration. Growing up, her behaviour escalated from petty theft through to breaking and entering, stalking and worse It was as an adult, she realized she was a sociopath. This discovery forced her to question the official descriptions of sociopathy. After all, she had a plan for her life, had nurtured close relationships and was doing her best (most of the time) to avoid harming others. While her darker impulses warred against her attempts to live a settled, loving life with her partner, Patric began to wonder - was there a way for sociopaths to integrate happily into society? And could she find it before her own behaviour went a step too far? 'A fascinating memoir' - Stylist magazine 'She is compelling, like a movie character a sociopath whos beautiful, warm and funny, articulate and charming' - The Guardian
