Review title: Great Historical Novel
Product review: I love historical novels and if you add in medicine, the mideast, a traveling barber-surgeon and grave robbing I am in heaven. "The Physician" did not disappoint. The characters are so engaging you are captured from the first few pages. It takes place in the 10th century, when most of the world is experiencing the dark ages. Superstition, poverty and the black plague prevail. The seat of world knowledge is in Persia (Iran) and the young man protagonist is so driven to get real medical training he impersonates a traveling Jew on his trek from England to Persia. His experiences along the way are both interesting and engaging and the world he encounters is strange, exciting and profound.I would recommend "The Physician" to anyone who likes a great story and loves historical fiction. It is well researched and rings true. I'm looking forward to reading more by Norah Gordon.
