SHE'S DETERMINED TO MAKE HER MARK IN A MAN'S WORLD...
The 1920s: being a female doctor is tough, especially if you work in the welfare centre of an industrial Yorkshire town.
Rose - who has the added disadvantage of being young and pretty - finds she has to cope with elderly male prejudice from those above her, and apathetic ignorance and poverty from those she is trying to help.
She'll need all the inner strength and confidence she can muster to find her way...
A heartfelt, passionate book with the coalface of midwifery as its theme

—— Times Literary SupplementPleasurable... Like Steinbeck, de Bernières deserves praise for his imaginative sympathy
—— Independent on SundayShafak will challenge Paulo Coelho's dominance
—— The IndependentAn honour killing is at the centre of this stunning novel... Exotic, evocative and utterly gripping
—— The TimesLushly and memorably magic-realist... This is an extraordinarily skilfully crafted and ambitious narrative
—— The IndependentThe book calls to mind The Color Purple in the fierceness of its engagement with male violence and its determination to see its characters to a better place. But Shafak is closer to Isabel Allende in spirit, confidence and charm. Her portrayal of Muslim cultures, both traditional and globalising, is as hopeful as it is politically sophisticated. This alone should gain her the world audience she has long deserved

—— Sunday TimesFascinating and gripping - a wonderful novel
—— Rosamund Lupton, author of SisterVivid storytelling... that explores the darkest aspects of faith and love
