A superb study of madness, this powerful work left me stunned and amazed. Author Doran writes with the confidence of a master story teller and his words are imbued with the weight and authority of an insider who knows what he's talking about. Authenticity seems perhaps more important in a work dealing with a sensitive subject matter and the writing leaves no doubt that this author is informed and speaks from the heart. I loved the story and I also felt I learnt a lot. Doran steers clear of any maudlin scenes and the reader is left with a strong sense of hope at the end. Because it so intelligent and because it avoids cliches, this book is recommended to anyone with a stomach for intense drama.
