The Madman's Hotel by Niall Breslin

emotional reflective medium-paced

3.0

"The Madman’s Hotel" is a fascinating and haunting story about a family's fight for justice after discovering that a distant relative was unjustly committed to an asylum in Ireland by her husband. I found the historical exploration of these institutions particularly compelling, shedding light on the dark realities of how people—especially women—were often confined against their will. The book does not shy away from the bureaucratic obstacles and red tape the family faces in their search for answers, which adds to the realism and emotional weight of their journey. A gripping and thought-provoking listen!
