In May 1901, an anonymous letter alerted the police to the fact that Blanche was imprisoned in a dark room with padlocked shutters. According to the letter, Blanche had been imprisoned for twenty-five years. When the police found her, she was half-starved, naked, sedated and screaming.\nPart French history, part true crime study, part courtroom drama, Screaming At The Window is Blanche Monnier’s harrowing story.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B0D8ZJTF7V\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.B0D8ZJTF7V.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Dent, RJ\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
