Glorious! This period drama is fresh, and (unfortunately) intensely relevant to today; the dialogue, in particular the narration by Nellie's fellow inmate Anne, is sparse and as restrained as the women held on Blackwell Island until a "new path" is set and Anne is empowered to speak for herself. Well-chosen imagery woven throughout reveals the true insanity: the usurpation of the old wisdom from women by those tainted by hubris. Bravo!
