About this product

Product Information

From the bestselling, critically acclaimed author of HAMNET and I AM, I AM, I AM, comes an intense, breathtakingly accomplished story of a woman's life stolen, and reclaimed. 'Unputdownable' Ali Smith Edinburgh in the 1930s. The Lennox family is having trouble with its youngest daughter. Esme is outspoken, unconventional, and repeatedly embarrasses them in polite society. Something will have to be done. Years later, a young woman named Iris Lockhart receives a letter informing her that she has a great-aunt in a psychiatric unit who is about to be released. Iris has never heard of Esme Lennox and the one person who should know more, her grandmother Kitty, seems unable to answer Iris's questions. What could Esme have done to warrant a lifetime in an institution? And how is it possible for a person to be so completely erased from a family's history?

  • Great read

    This is the story of a woman who is placed in a mental institution at a very young age and the consequences. It is sad but also shows the human spirit and it will make you sad, angry and feel admiration. The book is well written and I was engaged from the first page, it was a book club book and I probably wouldn't have chosen it as a personal read. However I'm really pleased I have and recommend it to others.
