New York, 1900s. Ten-year-old Essie O'Neill's life is turned upside down overnight: a few years after her dad's death, her mom gets married again. And not only is Essie’s stepfather German, and therefore a stranger, but he also works as the head doctor of a quarantine hospital. Terminally ill patients are sent there to isolate them from society. Tuberculosis, smallpox, typhoid fever, cholera - just the names of the diseases make you shiver, and Essie will have to live next to the hospital and every day run the risk of getting sick and dying. As if she doesn’t have enough other fears, which she adds to her list in order to be less afraid! Finding herself in a new house, a huge and gloomy mansion, Essie learns that nurses have disappeared from the hospital and the police are investigating. Is her withdrawn and taciturn stepfather involved in these mysterious disappearances? Essie begins her own investigation, but to get to the truth, she will have to remember her painful past and face her fears. 5 reasons to read The List of Unthinkable Fears:• A new novel from Jessica Kasper Kramer, author of A Story That Cannot Be Told; • Unusual historical setting - and current themes: fear and anxiety, loneliness and isolation, experiencing grief from the loss of a loved one and getting used to changes in life; • Study of the theme of fear and anxiety as a consequence of trauma; • Psychological drama that skillfully pretends to be a mystical detective story; • An exciting read that you won’t be able to put down – you won’t stop until you “solve the case” with the heroine.
