The Asylum Women by Elaine Whiteford
2nd – 8th September
Genre: Historical Fiction / Women’s Fiction
Blurb
CAPPELMUIR LUNATIC ASYLUM, 1911
Four women drawn together by a mystery patient and a secret tragedy find themselves in a struggle for justice and freedom.
Jessie Purdie has fled her drunken father and brothers to work as a laundry maid at Cappelmuir Asylum. Dr Katherine Forbes is being undermined by allegations of misconduct and is torn between choosing a career or love. Nurse Helen Elliot’s livelihood is being threatened by industrial unrest and a feud with a male attendant. Mrs Isabella Lockhart yearns for meaning beyond her careful marriage to the asylum’s medical superintendent.
When their lives intertwine in a web of deception, they stand firm in their beliefs. But as secrets unravel, and loyalties are tested, the asylum women must decide where their futures lie and what price they’re willing to pay for their defiance.
A story of resilience, sacrifice and moral courage, of women who refuse to be defined by their circumstances. Perfect for fans of historical fiction with heart, depth and female voices.
