The book had wonderful characterizations throughout and an extremely likable heroine. When everything is finally revealed it's a shock to all parties.

Each chapter alternated between Louisa's present day predicament and her recollections of growing up. Imprisoned in an asylum for the insane, she has to unravel the secret of the person responsible for her incarceration, whilst also finding a means of escape and a new path for her future. ![]() Louisa Cosgrove is thrown into Wildthorn Hall after an accusation of lunacy. ![]() As the latter is one of my favourite time-periods, I definitely had to read this. ![]() The book is inspired by the stories of the women incarcerated in asylums in the nineteenth century.
