Jennifer Delamere has written an intriguing story about women becoming doctors in a time and place when it wasn't an easy task. Julia is in London taking the prerequisites to pass her matriculation exam. She has been invited to a lecture by a famous female doctor, but while on the underground, it derailed. Julia was unhurt, but other passengers were injured. One of the passengers was Matthew Stephenson, a barrister who is trying a case that could shut down the women's medical school. While Julia assumed their association was over after their encounter on the train, there were other forces at play.
Jennifer's characters are well-defined, and the settings are written in vivid technicolor. The Heart's Appeal involves some well known historical figures as well as these historical issues. Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a lady doctor to cure your ills.
My thanks to Bethany House Publishers for allowing me to read and review this book.
