What an incredible read. A real page turner, could hardly put it down. Descriptive, emotive, intreaguing. And a great length. Highly recommend.

The Mad Women's Ball is a historical fiction. Some of the characters in the book are based on real people and the Salpêtrière was a real place where women were mistreated in 19th century Paris. 
The short book highlights how women were treated by their peers and by men, in particular, when deemed difficult or "hysterical". 
The characters were interesting and well-written. The imaginary is fantastic, made me feel as if I was there. The only thing I felt was off is the book could've actually be a bit longer. We follow these amazing characters and it feels like some characters just had abrupt endings with hardly an explanation of what happened to them.

Engaging but felt underdeveloped and a bit half-baked.
