I throughly enjoyed this book! The main character, Nora, is a strong, brilliant woman who's medical aptitude is unfortunately hidden from the medical world as her talents (as a woman) are frowned upon by society. The doctor which she lives with is gruff outwardly but has a warm heart, especially toward Nora. I loved the book in its entirety. The characters were engaging, the book was historically accurate, and the story flowed perfectly!
