A bit of catching up to do on the blog posting. I've read three books that I have been meaning to blog about. Here is the second...
This novel is about the Civil War and Mary Sutter, a woman who wishes to be a surgeon. The time period is the American Civil War and Robin Oliveira doesn't skimp on the details either. I loved the characters in this book and the heartwrenching sacrifices the men and women had to endure during one of America's bloodiest battles. Mary isn't Scarlet O'Hara, although she has much the same spunk, she's got far more compassion and grit. The men who fall in love with Mary Sutter do so not because of her beauty but for her character, her determination and her passion for medicine. Mary's character has to endure so much to finally arrive where she wished to be in life. I don't want to write a huge long review of this book because I really think it needs to be read slowly and enjoyed, plus I don't want to give too much away of the story line.
A slow read but that was due to having to slow down to take it in. A riveting story!
PS: Dear friends you cannot borrow this one from me. It was given to me to read and pass along and I've already passed it to another reader to enjoy.
