The Gilded Hour - Want It All

The Gilded Hour

The international bestselling author of Where the Light EntersÂ presents a remarkable epic about two female doctors in nineteenth-century New York.
Â
The year is 1883, and in New York City, Anna Savard and her cousin Sophieâ€”both graduates of the Womanâ€™s Medical Schoolâ€”treat the cityâ€™s most vulnerable, even if doing so puts everything theyâ€™ve strived for in jeopardy...
Â
Annaâ€™s work has placed her in the path of four children who have lost everything, just as she herself once had. Faced with their helplessness, Anna must make an unexpected choice between holding on to the pain of her past and letting love into her life.
Â
For Sophie, an obstetrician and the orphaned daughter of free people of color, helping a desperate young mother forces her to grapple with the oath she took as a doctorâ€”and thrusts her and Anna into the orbit of anti-vice crusader Anthony Comstock, a dangerous man who considers himself the enemy of everything indecent and of anyone who dares to defy him.
Â
With its vivid depictions of old New York and its enormously appealing characters, The Gilded Hour is a captivating novel by an author at the height of her powers.
