SUMMARY:ZOOM History Bookclub: The Maddest Place on Earth
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted that Jill Giese\, the author of he Maddest Place on Earth\, will join our Zoom book club on the 12 May. \nDue to  the COVID-19 pandemic this group will be conducted by ZOOM. Do read the book now (what else do we have to do except read?) so you’ll be ahead of the game when life resumes and we will keep you updated as to when and how the ZOOM meeting can occur. \nOur bookclub usually meets monthly on the 2nd Tuesday of each month from 5:30pm – 7pm at the RHSV. We ponder the big issues and the small over a glass of wine and some cheese but for the forseeable future it will be in your own lounge-room. \n\nGold-fuelled Melbourne was booming\, but dwelling in the fault lines of the proud young colony was an alarming fact – Victoria had the highest rate of insanity in the world. Was it the antipodean sun\, gold mania\, excessive masturbation\, the heady pace of modern life? \nThe true story of colonial Victoria’s quest to cure insanity unfolds through the lives of three English newcomers – a gifted artist\, exiled from his homeland for his madness; an ambitious doctor\, bringing enlightened treatment ideals to his post in charge of the overflowing asylum; and a mysterious undercover journalist\, who sensationally exposed the lunatics’ plight in Melbourne’s press. \nAmid the clamour of fraught endeavours and maddened minds\, the story reveals unexpected hope\, creativity and ennobling humanity – and surprising contemporary relevance as we continue to grapple with this ancient human malady. \nWinner 2018 Victorian Premier’s History Award \nLonglisted 2018 Nib Literary Award \nJill Giese is a clinical psychologist and writer\, whose extensive career in mental health encompasses many years of clinical practice and executive roles in policy and advocacy. \n\nThe following bookclub on Tuesday 9 June will read Mannix by Brenda Niall
