Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed this novel but besides the mystery, I was fascinated with the history behind the story: how women were treated in India during this period of time and that main character was inspired by Cornelia Sorabaji‘s life. This edition has an interview with author, a glossary, information about Parsi, about Cornelia Sorabaji & even some recipes. It also mention some references.The audiobook help me to know how to pronounce some words.3.85⭐️

In March I included some books by Irish authors & strong female characters/authors. Story based on some real facts during the afterwar-pandemic situation in 1918. But story is about the consequences in a maternity/fever Ward: lack of personnel-supplies-food-jobs-no cure. A slow pace reading, with graphic medical interventions, maybe predictable in some areas, repetitive in others but I really liked it.4⭐️⬇️
