Elizabeth DeLozier has written a gem of a debut book.
It was intriguing to follow MC Eleanore as she develops her healing talent during the bubonic plague of the Middle Ages. First she learns from her midwife mother and then she becomes an apprentice to the Pope’s physician. And let’s not forget Eleanore becoming the midwife to a queen. Another fascinating thing is the auxiliary characters are real people who lived during the times and the author has woven Eleanore’s story alongside them seamlessly.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I will be happy to read anything that Elizabeth DeLozier writes in the future.
Thank you to NetGalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton for the digital ARC.
