Alison experiences the world through synaesthesia while the story explores blurred lines between reality and perception.
Alison is taken to a psychiatric hospital after being accused of a mysterious crime and tries to prove her innocence.
Pay attention to the treatment of psychiatric hospitalisation, mental-health-related themes, fear and anxiety, loss and grief, and mild peril. These elements may matter especially if a reader finds emotionally heavy material difficult.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
