I enjoyed this book, although there were a lot of characters to keep track of. The story was intriguing although a little complex as how mystery unfolds. As a bonus, I enjoyed the love story of Martha & Ephram and the respect and tenderness he had for her.
Likes the book very much. Interesting to learn about life in a small settlement town in early America and their similarities with contemporary societal struggles. Lots of characters to juggle and some were not fully developed.
Really liked this book. There was history, mystery, love, medicine and more. I appreciate that Martha Ballard was such a strong woman - an advocate for women. The author did a great job of telling the story - with vivid scenery and nice references from other authors like Shakespeare and Kipling and others.
