"The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox" by Maggie O'Farrell is a haunting and emotionally charged novel that explores themes of family secrets, mental illness, and the hidden lives of women in the early 20th century. The story is centered around two women: Iris Lockhart, a modern-day young woman living in Edinburgh, and her great-aunt Esme Lennox, a figure long thought to be dead but who has been confined in a mental institution for over sixty years. Iris is shocked to discover that she has an aunt she never knew about when she is contacted by the institution, which is closing down, asking her to take responsibility for Esme. As Iris delves into Esme's past, she uncovers a dark and tragic history of how a vibrant, unconventional young woman was committed to the asylum simply for defying societal norms and her family's expectations.
