“There are three female characters in the book suffering from mental illness, and they are all perceived and treated differently. One of them has recovered, one is in recovery, and was never given the chance. They are neither victims or villians. They are just people, with different needs and levels of functioning.”
― Camilla Sten, The Lost Village

“Recovered, in recovery, or struggling, we are still people. Sometimes that truth can feel like a fever dream.”
― Camilla Sten, The Lost Village

“And just for an instant - a second, maybe half that -he couldn't see Iris at all.”
― Benjamin Wood, The Bellwether Revivals

“We perceive women suffering from mental illness with a sort of paradoxical double-sidedness; both victims and monsters, simultaneously infantilized and feared.”
― Camilla Sten, The Lost Village
