“This is a good book and a disturbing one at that. The author delves into what occurs when a strong woman is forced to totally subjugate herself to her father and husband - the mental illness that ensures, the attempts to treat and control it, as the disquieting results. I liked this book but did not love it. I found the neurologist, Victor Seth, very unsympathetic, although I felt as though we, as readers, were supposed to "come around" to him. I found the husband the more sympathetic character, and I'm sure that this is not what Chance intended”
