Intriguing exploration of language and stream of conciousness through the women being treated at a psychiatric hospital in Australia in the 1960s. The story opens with a woman who is not a patient at the hospital but who dies from bee stings in the hospital's White Garden, designed as an imitation of Vita Sackville-West's garden in England. The story shifts between the current mental landscape of several of the patients and figures from the past on whom the patients have become fixated. Themes in novel also include an exploration of the skewed male view of mental illness and sexuality in women and also parent-child, husband-wife, and sibling relationships. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Dr Ambrose Goddard administers LSD, ECT and deep sleep treatment to his patients at Mandala. However, things go wrong when his patient, Vickie Field, dies from a bee sting while meeting other patients in the white garden. Carmel Bird's examination of the secrets of the human mind is a chronicle of tragedy that is inadvertently revealed in the search for a lost library book. It is also a compelling portrait of a doctor whose lust for power is a form of madness. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
