Sarah Higginbottom's review
of
The Baby Farm Murderer: The Story of Amelia Dyer, the Victorian Serial Killer:
"Really chilling and painfully fascinating. Stephen Jakobi digs into the Amelia Dyer case with great detail, and I couldn’t help but keep turning the pages even though the subject is horrifying. Dyer’s story is disturbing, but the book does a good job"

quote
“I think we mistake sadness for depression, because life is basically sad, and its the failure to recognize that that leads to this sort of resentment and bewilderment [...] It is, it is, and [..] you know, people just suddenly think that the world owes it to them to be happy, and they're not happy and then they think well, why aren't I happy, and makes 'em angry and then they're depressed about the fact that they're angry and they're bitter about the fact that they're depressed, and this downward cycle; why don't they just accept that life is sad and cheer up, it's not forever.”
