Book Descriptions
Two women fall under the influence of a powerful doctor in Paris?s notorious nineteenth-century women?s asylum?a gripping novel inspired by true events, from the bestselling author of Wunderland.After being dragged into the Salp?tri?re asylum screaming, covered in blood, and suffering from amnesia, Josephine is diagnosed with what the nineteenth-century Parisian press has dubbed ?the epidemic of the age?: hysteria. It?s a disease so uniquely baffling that Jean-Martin Charcot, the Salp?tri?re?s acclaimed director, devotes popular lectures to it, using hypnosis to elicit fits and fantastical symptoms in front of rapt audiences. Young, charismatic, and highly susceptible to this entrancement, Josephine quickly becomes a favorite of the powerful doctor and the Parisian public alike. EDGAR AWARD FINALIST ? ?Epstein?s page-turning historical novel?an indictment of the medical establishment?s manipulation of women?remains eerily relevant and timely.??Fiona Davis, New York Times bestselling
