The novel traces the emotional breakdown - and then the restoration - of Eliza Peabody, a smart and wildly imaginative woman who has become unbearably isolated in her prosperous home in present-day South London. The letters Eliza writes to a neighbor - a neighbor whom she hardly knows - reveal the story of her self-propelled descent into madness. Eliza must reach the very bottom of this inner downward spiral before she can once again find health and serenity.
