Why read it?
1 author picked Domina as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book by Barbara Wood is an oldie but goodie. I was reading it in Spanish, but it was originally written in English. I especially enjoyed the research that went into the wild hospital descriptions during the 1800s and the main character’s struggle to succeed as a doctor when society thinks she should be at home being pious.
The supporting characters range from believably obnoxious to downright endearing. More, please.
From Isabel's list on female doctors.
