Book Review of The Lives They Left Behind: Suitcases from a State Hospital Attic

This is a quick read. The stories are interesting yet very sad. I would have liked more facts and less speculation. I love the idea of trying to figure out the feelings and life style of the patients by looking into the suitcases left behind and found in the attic but for me it fell short. It lacked depth and true characterisation. Still worth reading.
