Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty as you've never seen them before.
I'm shocked, Beccs. I think of you as so tough and funny, but it seems you have not lost track of your inner princess. That's nice.
Not sure if I've made a plug for Cutting for Stone, a novel written by Ethiopian-born medical doctor/author Abraham Verghese here or not. If I have, I'm sorry but memory is starting to be an issue for me. [Pro-tip, avoid major head trauma.]
I read it a few months ago and thought it was wonderful. I got a sense of living in another place very foreign to me but during times I can recall from my US born perspective. Pretty detailed account of a life in medicine, albeit in a different place and culture. I'd be interested in your take as a doctor, Beccs.
The reviews I've read complained about the level of detail and span of time adding to the length of the book. But for me it was a total page turner which I was sorry to see end.
