Publisher's Synopsis
Following the deaths of her siblings, Charlotte is far from home and has few people to trust. Struggling with romantic entanglements and her stressful rise to prominence on the literary scene, she is more alone than ever. On a visit to London, Charlotte goes on a tour of London's most famous hospital for the mad, Bedlam. She is sure she recognises a struggling Mr. Slade, her long-missing ex-lover, strapped to one of the stretchers.
