THE HUMAN TRIAL

π§ͺ ππ’ππππππ & ππππππππ:
Randall Archer has a pretty bad home life in Pennsylvania. He dreams of going to medical school and getting away. His guidance counselor makes it happen and off to Harvard he goes, on a full scholarship at 16, to study to be a pathologist. There he connects with people who are richer than anyone heβs ever known; including his future wife, Elizabeth Perrish and his lab mate, a physicist named Adam Wakefield.
Elizabethβs family are βtheβ Perrishes whose family go all the way back to the beginning of timeβ¦ ok, just Boston. This being the 1920s her family does not take to Elizabeth being an outspoken woman and definitely doesnβt approve of her new relationship with someone with a blue collar instead of blue blood. So, what does Elizabeth do? She marries him and they move into a one room apartment and she becomes a teacher. While Elizabeth is challenging her upbringing, Randy and Adam are challenging science as itβs been known up to this point. The two come together and take huge risksβ¦ but do they pay off?? You wonβt believe the ending.
I listened to the audio and the narrator, Scott Graff, kept me fully engaged. His narration fit in with the era, sounding like a Hitchcock vibe. My only drawback in this area was the tinny sound for the inner thoughts. But that was a me thing.
Otherwise, I really enjoyed getting to know about this time in medical history (and having looked up the authorβs notes, her personal reason for the subject.) I hope more of that goes into the series later.
The Human Trial is the first in a trilogy which will span decades and a plethora of medical issues.
