Skins and Game Of Thrones actress Hannah Murray was sectioned in 2017 as a result of involvement in a wellness cult, it’s been reported.No further details are known at this point, but The Bookseller shared that Murray’s memoir, The Make-Believe, in which she looks back on her experiences, will be published by Hutchinson Heinemann following a 13-way auction and is set to be published in 2026.Murray said, “The Make-Believe tells a deeply personal story that has lived inside me for many years and which it now feels vital to share.
I could not be more thrilled to be working with Helen Conford, whose vision for the book aligns perfectly with mine.”Hutchinson Heinemann said, “This is the story of the blurred line between what is real, and what is an illusion; what we must accept and what we wish to be true; between solid earth beneath your feet and a world where anything is possible if you only commit.
It is about the lure of those that tell us they can save us, and the deceptive structure of organisations that promise us ‘wellness’.
It’s about the acting world, but also about the way all of us act, hiding our vulnerabilities from everyone except the people trained to prey on them.”Conford, a publisher at the company, added, “Hannah’s writing is astute, deeply felt, rigorous and compulsive.
