Simply addictive\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Set in 1890s, Mitchell\u2019s meticulously-researched, gripping novel tells fictionalized account of the daredevil journalist Nellie Bly\u2019s journey of breaking through the gender barriers as she sets on a path to unravel dark secrets of authorities at a mental asylum. The institutions for the insane on Blackwell\u2019s Island in New York City\u2019s East River are notoriously famous for one thing: it\u2019s easy to get in, but once there, it is impossible to get out. Disgusted by the unfair gender-based practices, the ambitious Elizabeth Cochrane takes on a dangerous assignment of exposing corrupt authorities at one of the asylums to prove her expertise as a reporter, putting her life at risk.

The audacious scenarios Elizabeth finds herself in ring with authenticity. Brilliantly tackling Elizabeth\u2019s past and present, Mitchell has delivered a satisfying and riveting tale.
