This was an interesting story as historical thrillers go. It was inspirational to read about the women’s college and female doctors defying the restrictions placed on them in a time where women’s rights were constantly suppressed. There were some chapters that seemed rushed specially towards the end but all in all it was a pretty decent story. Not much of a twist because it’s obvious, who the primary figures are and who the main person behind the mystery was. I think overall it was a decent story- it didn’t blow me away but it was educational with the historical component and a fairly interesting plot.
