Plot summary

Sheltered from negative influence behind the tall stone walls of Dr Godwin Baxter's Victorian garden of grotesque wonders, exotic Bella has no clue about what she's been missing out on life. But ideas are impossible to contain; like a fierce tempest, nothing can stand in the way of freedom and enlightenment. Now, seduced by the electrifying scent of promise and opportunity, the voracious, raven-haired disciple embarks on a grand globe-trotting quest for self-awareness, eager to broaden her horizons. And the question remains. Equipped with childish curiosity and the feral desire to answer the haunting whys that hinder her evolution, can the bizarre anatomist's favourite poor thing survive the world's twisted love on her own?—Nick Riganas
