Negative Positive
Title: Historically and medically accurate
Review: Exploring love between a quakeress helping a nobleman after a debilitating stroke, this is a compelling tale with an original take on a rake's redemption. Unlike most most authors who take a ridiculous amount of "creative license" with their medical plot devices, Kinsale is spot on in her medical treatment of the hero(which is refreshing for me as a physician). I can testify both from professional and personal perspective of watching a friend survive a cerebral aneurysm (the type of stroke Christian has)that Kinsale accurately describes this type of condition from coma to almost full recovery months later. But what I really love is that she does this in the setting of a 19th century English romance novel in a way that is both emotionally compelling and satisfying.
