Trials of Passion
Trials of Passion is a thoroughly fascinating book that explores the insanity defense over time through the lens of four different crimes if passion. The authors expertise shines throughout. The effect of societal attitudes to gender and class and madness are fully explored and laid out. The primary flaw is that sometimes the writing is a bit clumsy.

4.5 stars
I really liked this. It just missed out on five stars.
I seem to have an obsession with circuses/street performers and this pulled me in really quickly. It pulled at my heart strings in lots of ways. The Kotova family. Her passion. His passion. John and Timo. *sigh*
I'd love to read more stories like this.

When Delfina was seven, her father killed her mother. So she grew up with her grandparents. Questions about her mother and the murder haunted Delfina through into adulthood, and her large Polish family could do nothing to answer them. This story about passion and disappointment was lovingly rendered, and evocative. You can read my full review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2014/04/04/on-passion-and-disappointment/
