The Madwoman's Ball – Victoria Mas

R 85.00

Paris, 1885. Every year, the Salpêtrière asylum throws its famous Lenten ball — a glittering, grotesque spectacle where the city's elite come to gawk at the women locked inside. But behind the masks and music, the women of the Salpêtrière have stories that demand to be heard.

Victoria Mas's stunning debut The Madwoman's Ball is a haunting, beautifully written novel about women who were labelled mad simply for being inconvenient, passionate, or free. Translated from French, it is a fierce and tender act of reclamation — a story about power, confinement, and the quiet resilience of women who refused to disappear.

Perfect for fans of historical fiction with a feminist edge, and readers who love Sarah Waters, Hilary Mantel, and atmospheric European settings. Trending among book lovers drawn to stories of women reclaiming their voices.

A trade paperback in Very Good condition.
