I received this book in a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.

This was an interesting story set in France during the late 19th century. The plot is complex but wasn't confusing or difficult to follow. I really liked the main character, Madeleine, who refused to conform to the expectations placed on women at that time. I took a star off of my rating because the ending was a bit fuzzy in the descriptions of why things occurred and how everything worked together. Overall a great story, perfect for anyone who loves medical thrillers, crime fiction, and historical fiction.
