The Ballroom by Anna Hope
Set in a Yorkshire asylum in 1911, this poignant narrative unfolds within the confines of a grand ballroom where patients gather every Friday for a dance. The story centers around Ella, a spirited young woman, and John, a quiet and introspective man, whose lives intertwine amidst the oppressive atmosphere of the institution. As their connection deepens, they find solace and hope in each other's company, challenging the boundaries of their confinement. The tale explores themes of love, freedom, and the human spirit's resilience against the backdrop of societal constraints and the looming specter of eugenics.
