I'm looking forward to reading this book. A small but important part of my WIP takes place in a Victorian asylum in Yorkshire. I've read Victorian diaries and novels where asylums are prominent, so I'm keen to read a contemporary writer's approach. Fingersmith by Sarah Waters also has some scenes in a Victorian asylum. Thanks for sharing your review. Sounds fascinating.

Very interested to hear about your writing. I would be willing to read if you ever need some more readers. Thanks for your comments.
