批評家のレビュー
"Completely charming." (Imogen Hermes Gowar, author of The Mermaid and Mrs Hancock on The Floating Theatre)
あらすじ・解説
A compelling novel of female perseverance and the role of women in society set in the aftermath of the American Civil War. For fans of Tracey Chevalier and The Second Mrs Thistlewood.
In a world made for men, can one pioneering woman break free from tradition and walk a new path?
It is 1865, the American Civil War has just ended and 18-year old Vita Tenney is determined to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a country doctor like her father. But when her father tells her she must get married instead, Vita explores every means of escape - and finds one in the person of war veteran Jacob Culhane. Damaged by what he's seen in battle and with all his family gone, Jacob is seeking investors for a fledgling business. Then he meets Vita - and together they hatch a plan that should satisfy both their desires.
Months later, Vita seemingly has everything she ever wanted. But alone in a big city and haunted by the mistakes of her past, she wonders if the life she always thought she wanted was too good to be true. When love starts to compete with ambition, what will come out on top?
From the author of The Floating Theatre, The Physician's Daughter is the story of two people trying to make their way in a world that is struggling to escape its past.
