Stories of Asylum from WW1 - Emily
Holy Trinity Church, The Capper Room, Trinity Green, Gosport, Hampshire, PO12 1HL
Enjoy this talk by the author which will include the readings of excerpts from the novel. There'll also be a display of the research undertaken in Stories of Asylum from WW1 (a project with the Good Mental Health Co-operative in 2020 and 2021)
"With her sweetheart away on the front line in Europe and through a series of life-shattering events, Emily finds herself losing both her family and her mind. Now living within the confines of the Portsmouth Borough Asylum and forced to work in the laundry as part of her treatment, she suffers more and more and can see no end to this nightmare life she is living. As time passes, things start to improve when she is moved from the laundry to working on the asylum farm. Will this be a way for her to recover fully, or is she doomed to stay behind these high walls for the rest of her life?"
There will be the opportunity to purchase your own signed copy of the book, should you wish.
