Synopsis: And so, I am mad after all...The shackles gouge my wrists, disturbing the scars of Strangeways Prison's fetters. But no matter; if I bleed, I will not die: I am already dead. Named after the funeral flower, Lily has walked hand-in-hand with death for as long as she can remember. But the fact that death has chosen to follow her through life can hardly be conceived as her fault. Certainly she cannot be expected to take the blame for the slew of missing men in her wake. In fact, Lily is in no doubt that there has been some terrible mistake, and she will be released from this asylum any day now. Now she just needs to convince you too... Set against the harsh realities of a Victorian asylum, this compelling historical debut sees one unruly woman take her revenge on the men who would keep her caged, and ultimately asks where we draw the line between villain and victim in a society where the odds are stacked against women from the start. Perfect for fans of MRS ENGLAND by Stacey Halls, THE MAD WOMEN'S BALL by Victoria Mas and LILY by Rose Tremain.
