About the Review:
When concert pianist
Vivienne Mourdant's father dies, he leaves to her the care of an adult
ward she knew nothing about. The woman is supposedly a patient at
Hurstwell Asylum. The woman's portrait is shockingly familiar to
Vivienne, so when the asylum claims she was never a patient there,
Vivienne is compelled to discover what happened to the figure she
remembers from childhood dreams.
The longer she lingers in the
deep shadows and forgotten towers at Hurstwell, the fuzzier the line
between sanity and madness becomes. She hears music no one else does,
receives strange missives with rose petals between the pages, and
untangles far more than is safe for her to know. But can she uncover the
truth about the mysterious woman she seeks? And is there anyone at
Hurstwell she can trust with her suspicions?
My Review:
Vivienne's father passes and leaves to her a woman in an Asylum. She knows nothing of this person but does have some memories of her from her childhood. I knew right away who it could be, but continued on. Soon there are strange things that take place in her life, that just simply cannot be explained. It was interesting to see how these weaved into the original storyline.
I feel okay with the book but it seemed a lot of it just really didnt appeal to me. I'm sure if it had I would of given it a better review. It was sort of lacking which was irritating. I really did not get into it as much as I thought I would. The story does have many elements, even many twists and turns but in my opinion it just didnt strike a cord with me.
Overall, the book is well written and does have a strong storyline. Just wasnt for me.
