I read some of the comments to the Good Reads blurb and Flowers looks disturbing. Apparently Maddie, the love interest, believes the Duke got the stroke because he deserved it for his wicked deeds and she will redeem him with religion??? (Which is so NOT Quaker. Quaker's don't believe in divine retribution and are very into salvation for all. Non-violence.)
Not sure I can read that.
The Madness of Lord Ian - is rather interesting. It's a gothic, with a hero who has Asperger's syndrom in the 1800s. He's not mad, but people back then looked at autism and Asperger's as a type of Madness. Humans are rather sadistic in how they treat madness - particularly the behavorists. Ugh. But all of this is thankfully told in flashbacks, so we, the reader, don't have to live through his time in the aslym, that's over ten years in the past. He's 27, and was released from it at the age of 17.
