Summary: Heavy on feminism, light on dialogue
Comment: This, I understand, was Barbara Wood's first foray into literature, and pretty good for a first effort. Even as a woman myself, however, I found the feminist tone rather overwhelming. Such stuff was highly fashionable during the early eighties, when this book first came out. The style seemed more melodramatic than I like, and the dialogue sometimes shallow, sometimes contrived. Samantha Hargrave's life story is too crushing. The best things about this book, which I first read a few years ago and just finished for the second time, were the anecdotal presentation of what it was like for a woman to struggle through medical school and beyond in the late nineteenth century, and the haunting love story. Out of the dozens and dozens of books I have read, this is one of the comparative few that has made it into my personal collection.

Summary: Uplifting story of a woman battling against the odds
Comment: Can't believe this book is out of print. Have just found it on someones bookshelf, and was anxious to read it after having read Virgins of Paradise. I loved this book. Barbara Wood's female characters are strong and yet constantly feminine. I particularly enjoy the way in which Ms Wood entwines such rich historical content and topics into her stories. I am impressed by the extensive research she must undertake.
