One of the inspirations for me wanting to be in medicine. I greatly admired all three women in the book, particularly the main character who is both smart, loveable and kind and with whom I identified. A wonderful read set in an era when women in medicine were few and far between. Really well written and not too long. Great diversity in chapters and individuals stories and a really great twist at the end

The novel addresses one of the roots of the debates all around the world, Euthanasia (mercy killing). Moreover, it tackles discrimination in gender and color. And lastly, it reminds the readers the value of the Hippocratic Oath.
It is very rare to come across a book so well-written being a medical thriller. One hell of a page turner by Sidney Sheldon with an extraordinary plot twist and the absolutely perfect ending.

This is my second book by Sheldon. Again, it was a fast-paced, fun read. Perfect for hanging by the pool.

This book follows three female doctor's lives. As much as I love Sidney Sheldon's work, this was one of his boring ones for me

La idea es muy buena, el tema que abordaba me parecía interesante, pero creo que esta escritora no ha sabido sacar provecho de la historia. El argumento me ha parecido muy malo, sin ningún giro -porque los supuestos giros eran de lo más evidentes- y con una narración muy extraña. La idea es maravillosa, pero el resultado me ha parecido nefasto, no me ha gustado como escritora y el libro carecía completamente de suspense.
