A review by emma_therabbithole
That Bonesetter Woman by Frances Quinn
5.0
A breath of fresh air - this was exactly what I needed!
Although I wasn’t blown away by the blurb, I forged ahead on a recommendation, and I was not disappointed. A gorgeous story set in the 1600s about Durie, a young woman with an ambition to be a bonesetter, just like her father and his father before him. Durie is not what a woman of the period is expected to be. Large and strong, she doesn’t fit in. Yet her size and strength makes her ideal for her chosen work.
A story of determination in the face of resistance. I loved this so much I immediately went out and bought The Smallest Man.
