Through vivid storytelling and careful research, the authors reveal the complex realities of mental health care in a bygone era, challenging preconceptions whilst honouring the dignity of those whose stories have too often been forgotten. It's a powerful and thought-provoking read that will resonate with anyone interested in social history, mental health, or the hidden corners of our collective past.
