Assessment Appertaining To Books My Name is Mary Sutter (Mary Sutter #1)

I am a huge fan of Historical fiction but this has got to be one of the most boring books I read. I could not even get past the initial pages, it just read like a bad monologue between characters, absolutely no desire to care what happens to any character.

Oh well interesting plot but failed to deliver.NEXT!



While I was waiting for my library copy of Winter Sisters I decided to read this not realizing that it was a prequel to Winter Sisters or that I had attempted it once before but abandoned for who knows what esoteric reason. This time I easily became absorbed in the story and thoroughly enjoyed this civil war era tale of a woman with fierce determination to become a surgeon at a time when women just did not do that.

Review soon --short one I hope lol LOVED IT! Update: Mary Sutter is determined and tenacious to become more than just a midwife. She wants to learn- shes sincerely fascinated with medicine...details among details. The obstacles for a woman to be accepted into medical school - to become a doctor - let alone a surgeon- were tenfolds more than today.WE ALREADY KNEW THAT....But.....What I didnt know .....is that debut author: Robin Oliveira, would transport me back to a period of history and give me

Mary Sutter is from a well-to-do family in Albany New York and the females in her family have been midwives for generations, but Mary dreams the impossible dream of being a surgeon. When the sabers rattle between the North and the South and the men of Albany gleefully join the Army, Mary heads for Washington City - if she can't be a surgeon she'll nurse instead - and she is soon literally up to her neck in wounded soldiers. Mary's story takes her to several battlefields and through her eyes we

It was unfortunate that I started reading this book 2 seconds after I finished another book that was not only vivid and creative, but emotionally vivid and creative. That seemed to amplify the difference between these two books in such an extreme way. My Name is Mary Sutter was just okay for me. Reading this was like looking at a painting. I could see the color of the sky, the civil war uniforms, the clothes, the buildings, and I could see stiff looking characters....but I had no idea what they

***Review written in 2011, one of my all time favorites***This remarkable book is the story of one young woman's desire to be a doctor in the late 1800's and early 1900. She and her mother are midwives, well renowned in the Albany NY area. Her father was a great railroad entrepreneur and so they were very well off. They were a close family, a twin sister Jenny and a brother Christian rounded out the family. At the outset of the novel Mary has been trying and trying to no avail to enter medical
