The Gray Chamber
is Grace Hitchcock's second contribution to Barbour Publishing's True
Colors series. The fictional
novels are based on true crimes in America's history. The
Gray Chamber is based on the
atrocities that took place in New York's Asylum for Women on
Blackwell's Island. Nellie Bly's articles published first in the New
York World's newspaper, and then in the book Ten Days in a
Mad-House, were an integral part
of Hitchcock's research.
Edyth
Foster, a fictional character, was wrongly committed to the asylum on
Blackwell's Island. Her eccentricities made passing her off as mad
much easier. Will the perseverance of her long-time friend Raoul
Banebridge be enough to gain Edyth her freedom? Readers will enjoy
the thrill of the rise and fall of emotions as they follow Edyth's
trevail.
I
am grateful to have received a copy of The Gray Chamber
from Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for my honest
opinion. I was under no obligation to provide a positive review, and
received no monetary compensation. It is a five star read that I am
happy to recommend.
