This brilliant, compelling and unusual novel - part mystery, part philosophy and part social history - is set in the early years of the 19th Century. The narrator is an inmate of Bedlam, the London mental asylum, where he is chained to a wall in unspeakably disgusting conditions. Yet he is witty, urbane and seemingly sane - he philosophises on freedom, on love and love lost, and on the fleeting nature of happiness. As this beautifully constructed story unfolds we learn about his everyday life in the asylum and about his life before Bedlam.
