A review by stacyroth
The Facemaker: A Visionary Surgeon's Battle to Mend the Disfigured Soldiers of World War I by Lindsey Fitzharris

informative inspiring medium-paced

5.0

In <i>The Facemaker</i>, Lindsey Fitzharris recounts the story of how plastic surgeon Harold Gillies dedicated himself to reconstructing the faces of those injured in World War I.  The audiobook was narrated by Daniel Gillies, the great-great-nephew of Harold.  He did a fantastic job with the audiobook, and the fact that they are related makes it that much more special.  I was absolutely fascinated to learn how much the medical field advanced due to the work of Gillies and others over those few years.  This book was both informative and highly readable.  I recommend checking it out! 

Many thanks to NetGalley for providing me an audio ARC of this book.
