Why read it?
1 author picked Voices from the Asylum as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I am recommending this book by Mark Davis because it was such an intimate look at the West Riding Pauper Asylum, which I reference in my own book.
The stories are incredibly sad, but they greatly reflect on what life was like for these individuals. It also has some of the most beautiful photos I have seen.
I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this time period. I just wish the book was longer!
From Juliana's list on insane asylums for those with a bizarre fascination.
