À propos de cet audio

Ten years ago, Izzy Stone's mother fatally shot her father while he slept. Devastated by her mother's apparent insanity, Izzy, now 17, refuses to visit her in prison. But her new foster parents, employees at the local museum, have enlisted Izzy's help in cataloguing items at a long-shuttered state asylum. There, amid piles of abandoned belongings, Izzy discovers a stack of unopened letters, a decades-old journal, and a window into her own past.

Clara Cartwright, 18 years old in 1929, is caught between her overbearing parents and her love for an Italian immigrant. Furious when she rejects an arranged marriage, Clara's father sends her to a genteel home for nervous invalids. But when his fortune is lost in the stock market crash, he can no longer afford her care and Clara is committed to the public asylum. Even as Izzy deals with the challenges of yet another new beginning, Clara's story keeps drawing her into the past. If Clara was never really mentally ill, could something else explain her own mother's violent act? Piecing together Clara's fate compels Izzy to re-examine her own choices - with shocking and unexpected results.

I couldn't put this title down. I listen while cleaning, washing dishes, working on the computer, taking a bath, I was looking for other things to do just so I could keep listening. And then wanted to hear it a second time... Yes it was predictable but still a great story

Loved the novel! Well written with characters who were well rounded. Great story. Highly recommend. Not historical fiction, though.

Engaging!

The story is interesting, the horror of the patients treatment in the institutions were probably well researched, but the whole story and the characters are too simplistic and the end was predictable(in my opinion). The performance is really good and it made the story much more interesting.

Interesting, but ...

My aunt was never in an institution but she did have electric shock therapy it was many years ago but no one ever talked about it. It was real and awful. This is one of those books you just want to keep listening to. There was some crying from me in parts.

I loved this book, because it was one of the most emotional books I have listened too. It was extremely well written and narrative. When each chapter finished I just couldn’t stop listening. This book would appeal to anyone also interested in the subject of people being committed to insane asylums.

The story was beautiful. Had some places where it could’ve been elaborated a little bit more. The narrator was very captivating and brought the story to life. It was interesting to have the two lives that were similar become more and more alike as the story progressed through and seeing the parallels between the two girls, I would highly recommend the story.

Beautiful Character Development
