This book is set during the 1860s. It's rather sad to hear how the asylum was used as a dumping ground for the old, the depressed and the eccentric. Elaine does an excellent job reading this book for Librivox. The sound quality is a bit tinny, but nothing that affects comprehension of the text.

Slow reader. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen and it never did.

Awful sound quality and reader is extremely stilted, text to speech flows more smoothly
Wrong story for the reader. Content is good.
