Winner of the Daily Mail Prize 2023


'I knew my course of action was madness and yet I still took it, never veered from it. In heat and in fever and yes in love, I trod that dreadful course, each painful and wonderful step of it. '

In late Victorian England, Lily finds herself incarated in a lunatic asylum, accused as a murderer an hysteric. But what did she actually do, and will she escape her dire circumstances?

This superb debut is perfect for fans of Stacey Halls' MRS ENGLAND and Liz Nugent's STRANGE SALLY DIAMOND.
