(view spoiler)[It was pretty obvious that Emily's supposedly dead older sister had been sold in the same way Emily was sold, so as soon as Anne was introduced, living at Bainbridge and looking similar to Emily, it seemed clear who she was. I kept waiting for Emily to figure it out, but she never did, or at least never acknowledged it. Can you confirm than Anne was Emily's older sister? And if so, did either of them ever know it?

Hello dear Trina,
You are clever! I cannot confirm because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone here who hasn't yet figured out as much as you have, and besides, most of the fun in writing is letting the reader come to her own conclusions. What I CAN tell you is that in the book, as in our lives, there are a handful of things that characters may not say out loud, but that they always knew on some level. In this case, the two girls' behavior to each other and the language that they use pretty much indicates how much they know, and I think they know a great deal;).
All my love, and thank you for being such a thorough reader and picking up on all of the little details—that's what writers dream of!

Thank you so much for being open about your disorder. I was recently fired because I didn't "leave my bipolar disorder out of the workplace." How do you suggest I educate my employers about the disorder without getting defensive or them looking at me like I'm incapable after proving myself otherwise? Thank you.

Is there more on the fact that Madame Mournington's daughter Violet and Violet the patient from the hospital share the name? Obviously there is paralelism between the hospital and the Asylum, but I wonder if it's just a random fact or there's a reason behind it. Lots of love and tea <3
