Fabulous. It reminded me of Daphne Du Maurier's "Rebecca". Deep, a little Dark, but so satisfying. Set in the 1880's, it explores what they considered mental illness and medicine. A lady comes to this hidden, dark house full of the "insane" totally without memory, or even, at the beginning, speaking. It's amazing to watch the entire household change because of this one lady. It makes you look at your life and how you view things. I almost put it down the first 1/3 of the book, because it is dark, but it had a deep hold on me, and I knew I'd always wonder what happened next. I'm so glad I finished it. It's a book I'll pass along to friends to read.
