Description

Strong-minded and independent Julia Bernay comes to London to study medicine and become a doctor--a profession that has only just opened up to women. She witnesses a serious accident, and through her quick actions saves the life of an ambitious young barrister named Michael Stephenson.

Coming from a family that long ago lost its money and its respectability, Michael Stephenson has achieved what many would have thought was impossible. Hard work and an aptitude for the law have enabled him to rise above his family's stigma and set him on the path to wealth and recognition. But his well-laid plans are upended when the accident brings Julia into his life.

Michael soon discovers he's met a woman every bit as stubborn and determined to make her mark on the world as he is. Sparks fly--but will they find common ground?

This was a fun one. I appreciated the practicality and drive of Julia - especially in contrast with her previous sister's book. Writing these in 3's as seems to be the pattern can be difficult in being able to find the balance between family and individuality. You don't want them too different because they are sisters who grew up with each other, but too similar and it gets boring.

Julia's bravery and willingness to work with the poor in the slums reminded me a bit of "Call the Midwife" and the women who were willing to go where others weren't to keep people healthy.

Michael also presents someone who is thought through and facing a real conflict. He also felt like a good pair to Julia. Not someone who is going to be barreled over by her will but also won't clash too much with her.

There was more in the plot about the legalities of women's rights and discussions of the idea that a woman should have the right to choose her life rather than fall to the whims of her father/brother/husband whichever male who happens to be "In charge" of her.

Overall it was well thought out, well written and fun to read.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
