Aprašymas
This story has arisen from the study of an Asylum in Hertfordshire. As the author paged through the Registers of Women "Pauper" Patients, she felt an insistent obligation to give a voice to the women (and men) who lived in this particular asylum (or any closed institution) at this point in time (1899 to 1930). Most families know of some relatives in the near past who were punished for their "differences" by being locked away and only spoken of at the time in hushed tones. It takes brave men and women to defy conventional mores. The adventures of the three women protagonists, Babs, Anne and Catherine, each very different persons, are, above all tales of courage and fortitude.They were more successful in varying degrees in escaping the fate of many in the asylum where many could only escape by death and a quick burial in an unmarked grave. In the end, this is a story of courage triumphing over crushing adversity and of patient forbearance.
