The vanishing act of Esme Lennox / Maggie O'Farrell.
This is a haunting, multi-generational tale of the horrors done to women in the name of family and under the guise of mental health. Esme and Kitty were two daughters of privilege who endured a terrible tragedy while their family was in India. Upon returning to Scotland, they are forced into the claustrophobic nature of high society. Esme does not take well to this. After a shocking scene at a ball, she is sent away to a mental institution. There she is completely forgotten and abandoned for sixty years. This is creepy Victorian fare for readers of Poe, James, and Daphne DuMaurier.
