They called it progress.
The Hollows has changed.
Its corridors are larger. Its records more detailed. And those responsible for the people behind its doors are increasingly certain that madness can be understood, classified and corrected.
In The Physic of Men, observation gives way to experimentation as new theories and methods promise a better understanding of the human mind.
But knowledge and cruelty can occupy the same room
At the centre is Edith Malloran, watching as patients become specimens, theories become certainties and those claiming to understand madness gain ever greater power over the people in their care.
Edith came to observe.
She learned when not to look away.
Dark historical fiction exploring mental health, early medical thinking, institutional power and what happens when the people searching for answers stop questioning themselves.
The methods changed. The certainty didn't.
