Critic reviews
"A wonderful, enthralling story; one that I didn't want to end." (Lesley Pearse on The Key)
"Gripping." (Good Housekeeping on The Secret)
"Hughes creates a sense of time and place effortlessly. The social context is incredibly important and once again, conveyed so well that the reader feels immersed in the world of Ambergate. Even though some of the story is set in the past, it still feels relevant and still raises questions about attitudes to mental illness, trauma, motherhood and grief." (Bibliomaniac on The Key)

To do this is the time when so many things were planned not to help so many who would be struggling with mental illnesses. The time of this story is when so many things were going to happened to everyone. Some of this took time when so many things were set aside in the mental hospital. The care that was going on to the health of the patients. Who were suffering from some type of mental disorder. There was Amy who was there with her problems, and no one would believe her.
This story was telling in difference parts of the story when there were some things were going on with. Traditional time people were there for finding difficult things to help patients. Who was left asIde with mental abuse and what was going on with them.
