"The Bird Cage" is the story of Viktor James, a young man navigating life in a mental institution.
The story follows Viktor as he navigates his life in the institute, and as he remembers his life and love before and during his stay while battling with his own mental health troubles and the bigoted and neglectful staff meant to care for him.
A/N: Descriptions are not my strong suite but I would really appreciate if you gave it a read. It's my first actual book and support would be great.
