Sian Busby's deeply felt and well researched book is a tale of awful enchantment.Fascinating,part autobiography,part moving family history,with sharply etched portraits richly embedded in their social and historical milieu.A gripping tale of madness and infanticide during the time of the Great War... Powerful and disturbing.
