The story of one woman who believed in scientific medicine before the world believed in her

Rescued from a pandemic’s wreckage and raised by the eccentric surgeon Dr. Horace Croft, orphan Nora Beady cares little for Victorian conventions. While other young ladies busy themselves with needlework and watercolors, Nora perfects her sutures and anatomical illustrations.

Women face dire consequences if caught practicing medicine, but in Croft’s private clinic, Nora is his most trusted - and secret - assistant. That is, until the new surgical resident, Dr. Daniel Gibson, arrives. He never suspects Nora is more qualified than he is, and to protect herself she’ll have to play a new and uncomfortable role - a proper young lady.

But pretense has limits. Confronted by suffering patients, Nora cannot hide her skill, even if it means giving Gibson the power to ruin everything she’s worked for. And when she makes a discovery that could change the medical field forever, Nora faces an impossible choice: remain invisible and let the men around her take credit for her work, or let the world see her for what she is - even if it means being destroyed by her own legacy.

The story is incredible - great dialogue and details but fast moving and engaging. It's the best book I've read/listened to since Where the Crawdads Sing. Loved each character and it's read aloud so well. I was sad to have it end.

Best book in 5 years!

Great story, not full of sex scenes, but emotional in so many ways. A brave, interesting, intelligent woman who cares not for the silly pursuits of women of her time, but for personal growth AND love. I would love to read more of this author(s)!

I want more

Narration was superb. Story was a bit typical, predictable and slow. There were a few interesting scenarios though to perk the storyline up a bit.

A woman had to prove herself, to be accepted as capable.

Interesting story of female doctor in a Victorian age. Likable characters and appealing story with many tragic and heroic moments. UPS and downs of medicine.

Unlikely heroine

It was engaging. If I missed anything, I was interested enough to go back and start prior to the missed part. I slow the tempo down to 9 so I miss nothing with the reading. The pace change feature is brilliant on Audible’s system.

It was not predictable. It was well written and performed

Loved it. Great historical fiction about the early days of modern medicine and discoveries, along with a great leading lady who fights to be allowed in

Beautiful story

The narrator is marvelous. She brings each character to life in a truly engaging story.

A great story beautifully narrated

So interesting, so relatable with a daughter in law surgeon, and smatterings of red tape, biases, and prejudices thrown in with a romantic flare.

Enjoyable
