The Girl Behind the Gates by Brenda Davies Book Summary

***TOP TEN BESTSELLER***

'Compelling. Poignant. Haunting. Heart wrenching. Just beautiful. Everyone needs to read this wonderful book.' - Renita D'Silva, bestselling author of The Forgotten Daughter

1939. Seventeen-year-old Nora Jennings has spent her life secure in the certainty of a bright, happy future - until one night of passion has more catastrophic consequences than she ever could have anticipated. Labelled a moral defective and sectioned under the Mental Deficiency Act, she is forced to endure years of unspeakable cruelty at the hands of those who are supposed to care for her.

1981. When psychiatrist Janet Humphreys comes across Nora, heavily institutionalised and still living in the hospital more than forty years after her incarceration, she knows that she must be the one to help Nora rediscover what it is to live. But as she works to help Nora overcome her past, Janet realises she must finally face her own.

Based on a true story, The Girl Behind the Gates is perfect for fans of The Girl in the Letter and Philomena.

The girl behind the gates. Loved this book! Definitely 5 stars!! Would highly recommend.

The Girl Behind The Gate. Powerful, emotional, horrifyingly real journey of mental institution's practices of the past through the advancements and improvements of the 90's and beyond. Hints of One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest. Excellent read, highly recommend it!

The Girl Behind the Gates. I could not put this book down! It was so good. It made me cry several times, but some of the events and characters made me so angry at times. I highly recommend reading this novel. It is one that you won’t forget after reading.

The Girl Behind the Gates. Heart wrenching and beautiful.

Beautiful story. Beautifully told. I could not read it in one sitting because I was crying. Loved it though. And a satisfactory ending. So often I read a book and am disappointed in the ending. But this one held me to the last word.

I didn’t get the whole book. I’ve tried to read this and I only see 69 pages, one page per chapter and cannot see any of the pages.

The Girl Behind the Gates. This was such a beautifully written story. Nora grasps your heart and never lets go.

Heart breaking, heart wrenching, heart lifting. This book, wow. I am truly humbled by Nora and her strength of character and will. Her achingly painful story made me cry at times, but no harder than the tears of joy that fell at the end of her story when she became truly and fully herself. An inspirational read that I will carry with me in my heart.
