Reader reviewed by J. Mitchell
Doctor Margaret's Sea chest is historical
fiction, set in the mid 1800s in North America, England, Crimea and
India. The saga covers India's struggle for freedom. This rather long
tale is but one third of a more massive saga, yet it is nicely paced.
There is a nice balance between drama, romance, and suspense which
serves to keep the story consistently interesting, but it is mainly
focused on the action rather than too much description.
The
characters are well-developed enough that I could feel Margaret's
despair when her family disapproved of her desire to marry her cousin,
her jubilation at finally becoming a doctor as she wanted, despite the
disapproval of her parents, and her other emotions as the story
progressed. As I finished the last pages of this book, I felt as if I
were leaving friends behind. In fact, I am so hooked on the story that
the cliff-hanger ending has me sitting on the edge of my chair while
awaiting Book II of The Azadi Trilogy: The Rani's Doctor.
Almost
as interesting as the novel, there is a glossary at the end of the story
which defines the unfamiliar words used so that the reader can get more
from the novel than would be the case if he/she were just skipping over
the unfamilar words without understanding them.
Recommended
reading for those who love reading historical fiction and also for those
looking for something refreshingly different. Mobi format file
