I asked her if she'd ever taken some of these old drugs back in 2002 when I first read the book. She recognised the Oblivon because she took that first to help her through the stress of her divorce, then her GP switched to Librium then Valium.......then temazepam. She's dead now so I can't ask her when she first started it. I suppose it was a popular remedy for young women who were 'bad with their nerves' at that time.
I've been looking at my mother's old psychology textbook from the forties. I should post a few excerpts here for fun. I'm sure you'll love as much as I do the section explaining how well the (then) criminal mental disorder homosexuality responds to the dosing of bromide salts.
