'Gripping.. the plot gradually unravels in a most absorbing manner, clues and hints subtly weaving their way into the book ... a new voice in original, entertaining and challenging fiction.' -- Cathryn Scott, Big Issue 'An unsettling, weirdly evocative novel, evidently superbly researched ... the novel's images of the dawn of modern psychiatry and its portrait of doctor and patient struggling together towards the light remain memorably poignant.' -- Jon Barnes, Times Literary Supplement '[An] interesting, elegant tale' -- Jessica Mann, Sunday Telegraph 'Hannah's inner thoughts are delicately handled ... and her story is touching.' -- Eva Figes, Guardian
