Meer over het boek
The narrative follows investigative journalist Nellie Bly as she feigns insanity to expose the harsh realities of Blackwell's Island Insane Asylum in 1887. Through her harrowing ten-day experience, she uncovers the brutal treatment and neglect faced by patients in a facility overwhelmed by scandal and overcrowding. The book highlights the societal attitudes of the 1880s towards mental illness, portraying individuals not as patients deserving care but as dangerous lunatics requiring confinement and control.
