Helpful Score: 23
What an interesting book this was! The main thing I found so fascinating was how easily it was in the past to have a woman locked away in a mental institution. Naturally, the lack of understanding of what are now commonly diagnosed mental disorders was also to blame for the main character, Esme's, predicament. The author does a wonderful job of letting you experience Esme's life and injustices, and by the time you get to the shocker of an ending, you have to wonder....if you were Esme, would you have done any differently?
The only thing that distracted me while reading this book was the author's writing style. There were times I had to re-read passages because I had missed the fact that the point of view had changed from one character to another, so make sure that you pay attention for that.
