Comments: Mistress Hulda of the Sacred Heart Sanatorium wants to have Alice operated on with an experimental surgery. Alice’s family is split about her having the operation. Alice herself is totally against it and willing to fight against having it. The operation has not worked so well on others. On Alice, the operation though does change her, and only inside her mind is she truly free. This is a sad end to a realistic story with a fairytale wrapped inside it. Poor sweet Alice. The Mistress and the Doctor at the Sanatorium both get what they deserve. They are evil sadistic people.
Her father and one daughter are both cruel and uncaring. The other daughter though loves her sister. She her a kind heart.
The art is well enough done and does present the period well and Alice and her situation that is terrible and only becomes more so. At least in her mind’s eye she is free and happy. After the life she endured she certainly deserves it. Poor Alice we can only hope she lives out her life in her mind and enjoys it there.
