Revue de presse

“A harrowing trip through the dark corridors of a Victorian asylum and the unexpected twists of relationships that are as complex as they are compelling. Nuanced and mesmerizing.”—Deanna Raybourn, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Dark Enquiry
 
“A riveting debut novel filled with psychological suspense and dark, unexpected twists. In its chilling and compelling narrative, it manages to be both pull-no-punches historical fiction and a story so modern it could have happened yesterday.”—Simone St. James, Author of The Other Side of Midnight
