Description

Set in Victorian Cornwall, Signs for Lost Children is a powerful exploration of marriage, identity and the complex minds of those struggling with mental health. When Ally Moberley takes up her post at the Truro Asylum, she finds herself at odds with the brutal attitudes towards female patients, sparking a fight to be taken seriously in a profession dominated by men.

As Ally becomes increasingly absorbed in the moral importance of her work, her husband Tom Cavendish embarks on a journey to Japan in search of enchanting objects, leaving them both changed by their experiences. This beautifully written novel offers a thought-provoking portrayal of two individuals navigating the complexities of life and identity.
