Hi, everyone. I hope you all have had a wonderful start the year 2020. Today we are going to be looking at the book The Gray Chamber by Grace Hitchcock. This book is part of the True Colors series. I read a previous book a few months ago called the Yellow Lantern. You can find that review here. Nevertheless, this book, although not as intense, was equally captivating.
Edyth Foster is nearing her 25th birthday and has been very self-absorbed after her parents untimely death when she was a child. She has a way to get the things she wants by flaunting her money around. Edyth sees no need for a husband or to blend in with society norms. However, her Uncle Boris has some other plans.
By taking notice to some of Edyth’s peculiarities (dressing unusual, fencing with her friend Bane, collecting orphan cats, showing a short tempered, and drawing three hands reaching out to each other), her Uncle Boris decides to have some doctors inconspicuously spy on her whereabouts in order to gain Edyth’s wealth.
Edyth is soon committed to the women’s lunatic asylum on New York’s Blackwell Island. The accommodations are horrendous, but she soon finds a friends named, Nellie and Poppy. However, the situation doesn’t get better for Edyth. She wonders if anyone will find her in this awful place.
When Edyth’s long time friend, Bane, discovers the oddities of her disappearance, Bane starts going on a hunt to look for her. Will Bane find Edyth in time? Or will Edyth escape on her own? Will Boris be able to cover up a conspiracy and gain the inheritance? You will have to grab a copy for yourself.
