Dana Schwartz’s Anatomy: A Love Story is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance.

Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry.

Jack Currer is a resurrection man who’s just trying to survive in a city where it’s too easy to die.

When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist’s Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham’s lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books—she’ll need corpses to study.

Lucky that she’s made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living, then.

But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares—until Hazel.

Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.

Good with some flaws

CAUTION SPOILER ALERT: It took almost half of the book for me to feel invested. The chapters of the book that were read by Dr Beacham often felt out of place, or like an interruption. My biggest issue is that the whole concept of the book is that we have a woman who is passionate about science and medicine. She fights to be able to learn and practice medicine. But then the whole premise of the end of the book is…magic. The concept was cool but it felt like this magic elixir was out of left field.

Loved everything about this book…until the ending

Loved everything about this book…until the ending. Don’t get me wrong this was a great read! The last final details of the plot just disappointed me. Otherwise I couldn’t put this book down.

This books is amazing! One of my favorite books of the year, with characters and themes that will stay with me for a long time. The narrator is fantastic, and I even enjoyed the conversation with the author at the end. I Wish I could read it again for the first time!
