GOTHIC!
Even if there be monsters, there is none so fierce as that which resides in man’s own heart.
Inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, the author weaves her faith into this tale about a woman, her grotesquely disfigured brother, two doctors and an operation.
1815
Amelia Balfour has always dreamed of touring Egypt, but her plans (and dreams) are put on hold when she learns that a ground breaking, revolutionary surgery for her brother. This could really change things…but will the changes be for the better?
Surgeon Graham Lambert worries about the doctor he has gone into practice with. He has concerns about the surgery, can he stop it from happening?
This is a Gothic tale that is paired with tension, and faith. This is a light romance in this as well.
This tale is on the darker side, but hey, it is inspired by Frankenstein. There is also a lot of talk of God, faith, bible verses, etc. I read the description and didn’t really get that there would be so much of it in the book. It didn’t bother me, but some readers might not enjoy it while it will work really well for others.
I enjoyed this book and the gothic vibe. I think it is a great read for those long, dark, fall nights.
