The Cure - Paperback

by Jen Kingsford (Author)

London 1865. Adeline Parker's world shatters when she learns of her husband's gambling habits and she loses her unborn child. Lost in melancholy and drugged with laudanum she struggles to regain her Victorian composure. When her husband commits her to a lunatic asylum, she fears the worst.

While Bloomfield House is not the dank and cruel Bedlam of yesteryear, it holds many dark secrets of its own. Forced to endure a 'harmless' operation aiming to cure her of hysteria, Adeline must escape before more damaging surgery is inflicted upon her.

A handsome gentleman, Morgan Ashton, joins forces with her, assisting her to flee. Believing he is acting from a place of compassion, Adeline grapples with her growing desire.

When Adeline is re-captured, she must face the darkest shadows of Bloomfield yet. When her plans to reveal the horrors that lie beneath are thwarted, Adeline's fate appears to be sealed in the most horrific manner.

A Victorian thriller that explores the inky depths of true madness.
