Book Club: Thurs Oct 15 – The Girl in His Shadow by Audra Blake

Yesterday four of us met at Paneras to discuss The Widow.  I think the general consensus was that we all enjoyed the book.  Not one of Grisham's best, but still enjoyable. I thought it was better than some of his more recent works.

We also had a live discussion of various additional books we read during our break.  I will attached  the new  recommendations.

We will meet again Thursday October 15th at Paneras, 4:30 pm as usual to discuss

The story of one woman who believed in scientific medicine before the world believed in her.  Raised by the eccentric surgeon Dr. Horace Croft after losing her parents to a deadly pandemic, the orphan Nora Beady knows little about conventional life. While other young ladies were raised  to busy themselves with needlework and watercolors, Nora was trained to perfect her suturing and anatomical illustrations of dissections.

I read this book a while ago. I can guarantee that you will want to read the next one in the series of four,  The Surgeon's Daughter.  It sort of finishes the story of the struggle Nora had to cope with the knowledge she learned from her mentor.

I'm going to move on to the 3rd book in the series All in Her Hands.

Happy Reading,
