I read the Grey Chamber by Grace Hitchcock in record time, BECAUSE I could not put it down!!!!!!
The Grey Chamber is a story set in 1887 which mixes fiction with non-fiction, and Grace Hitchcock weaves it in a fabulous story! Edyth is a free spirit who lost her parents and inherited a fortune. Her uncle oversees her estate and all Edyth wants is his fatherly approval and love. When she turns 25 in a few months, she will have control over her estate. However, her uncle's new wife finds a loophole in the will of Edyth's parents that just might allow her uncle (and his wife) to have all of the inheritance. The loophole involves Blackwell Island's insane asylum!
As I said, I could not put this book down! The characters were amazing and the story was enthralling. I am going to be looking for more books by Grace Hitchcock. I love that she mixes nonfiction with fiction. The historical setting just adds to the story as well!
The plot will keep you reading! Make sure you have time when you start this to finish it - you will want to keep reading on!
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review. However, I was happy to do just that and I highly recommend this book!!!!
