The White Garden

Dr Ambrose Goddard administers LSD, ECT and deep sleep treatment to his patients at Mandala. However, things go wrong when his patient, Vickie Field, dies from a bee sting while meeting other patients in the white garden. Carmel Bird’s examination of the secrets of the human mind is a chronicle of tragedy that is inadvertently revealed in the search for a lost library book. It is also a compelling portrait of a doctor whose lust for power is a form of madness.
