Legacy of Lies

Bag om Legacy of Lies

Description Fifteen years ago, Luci's mother committed suicide, leaving behind a legacy of lies that Luci is still struggling to uncover. Now, a year after Luci was left reeling by the twin revelations that she had bipolar affective disorder, and that the grandfather she had thought was dead was still alive, she finally feels ready to meet her grandfather for the first time - hoping that he will be able to shed light on the secrets of the past. But Walter's reaction to Luci's visit raises more questions than it answers - and it is only after his death that Luci is able to discover the tragic truth, which shocks her to the very core of her being. Legacy of Lies is a heart-rending story that stretches back over several generations, unveiling the deplorable state of psychiatric care in the early twentieth century, but which ultimately offers a message of hope for those suffering mental illness today, and their families.
