About this listen

They thought she was insane. But what if she was telling the truth?

1942, New Zealand. Edith’s been locked away for a long time. She was just five years old when she was sent to Seacliff Lunatic Asylum. Fifteen years later, she has few memories of her life before the asylum, but longs for one beyond it.

When she survives a devastating fire that destroys her ward, Edith is questioned by the police and a young doctor, Declan Harris. Intrigued by his beautiful patient, Declan begins to doubt the official reasons for her incarceration. Is she truly mad - or could the impossible stories she told as a child actually be true?

Time is running out. With Edie awaiting a new and permanent treatment, soon there will be little of her left to save. Meanwhile intrigue has tipped into obsession - Declan needs to uncover the truth, but in doing so he will risk losing everything. As he sets out to save her mind, will he lose his own?

Interesting premise of what could a 5yr old say to have them looked away essentially for their whole life. Now 20 yrs old Edith is hiding what she knows to be the truth to just get by. But after a fire, new doctor Declan wants to get the bottom of Edith's story before it's too late. You sense the urgency to get to the truth before before the opportunity gets taken away. I liked where the story went but found it wrapped up a little too quickly.

The narrator did a great job of getting across Edith's vulnerability across.

Great listen
