I happened across this novel completely by chance; isn’t that the best way to find a new book? To encounter a new story and author when you least expect it and to be swept away by their story?

This is a fantastic gothic horror story set in an asylum for insane women in 1890’s New England. It will that will grab you, excite you and leave you eager for more from John Harding, a wonderful British writer new to me. This, his fifth novel, is the follow up story to “Florence and Giles” from 2010 but works equally well as a stand alone story.

I have already started to read “Florence and Giles”….!
