Description
In 1886, a respectable young woman must acquire a husband. But Violet Pring does not want to marry. She longs to be a professional artist and live on her own terms. When her scheming mother secures a desirable marriage proposal from an eligible Brighton gentleman for her, Violet protests. Her family believes she is deranged and deluded, so she is locked away in Hillwood Grange Lunatic Asylum against her will. In her new cage, Violet faces an even greater challenge: she must escape the show more clutches of a sinister and formidable doctor and set herself free. A thrilling story of duty and desire, madness and sanity, truth and delusion from within a Victorian asylum. show lessTags
