The Quelling

The Quelling is a harrowing and gritty debut that delves into the lives of two clever and beautiful sisters diagnosed with a rare psychiatric condition and accused of murder in childhood. With a plan to start a new family, one sister struggles to quell her violent tendencies, while the other is at the mercy of an eccentric researcher’s increasingly bizarre treatments. Their only lifeline may be an unlikely ally, a nurse with troubles of her own, in this exploration of familial bonds and the tension between freedom and safety.
