It begins in 1866 with a woman, branded as a murderess, trying to piece together her life and the tragic events that led to her being confined to a mental asylum.Īided by a young and progressive psychiatrist Dr.Shepherd, she begins to write to uncover the details of the fire accident that had left her mute and badly scarred. It is a historical horror novel that unfolds and ends in a manner that was strikingly reminiscent of The Silent Patient. Finally was able to give it a read and sharing my thoughts on the same. The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell, had been on my to-be-read list for a while.
