challenging informative inspiring slow-paced

4.0

I found this book challenging to comprehend initially, but once I persevered it got better! Lindsey Fitzharris's writing was uncomplicated and unpretentious; she used layman terms and explained Harold Gillies's actions and life brilliantly. I felt drawn to the stories throughout and was relieved to see that the chapters were short. 
 
The horrors of the war were evident throughout this book and need content warnings, which I will include below as usual. 
 
All in all, I give this book 4 out of 5 stars ✨ I would recommend to anyone interested in learning more about the world wars' atrocities as well as Gillies, the plastic surgeon who was the catalyst of facial surgeries in a time where it didn't seem possible 😳 Thank you!
