This is a dark atmospheric novel set in late 19th Century New York City Society. Lucy Carelton is a very "inconvenient" wife. Prone to fits, headaches and weakness with an addiction to laudanum and the inability to conceive, her husband, William, is at his wits end trying to find help for her. Enter Dr. Victor Seth, a pioneer in the field of neurology, he uses hypnosis and eletrotherapy as his cures of choice. What follows is a suspenseful pageturner where everyone has a secret. It is also about control and how the constraints of "Society" trapped men and most especially women into following the rules and any behavior outside of the norm was punished. Very interesting story with plenty of plot twists and turns and a surprise at the end.
