Book Reviews of The Abortionist's Daughter
Book Review: A good novel to occupy your day
Summary: 4 Stars
This novel from Elisabeth Hyde was the perfect book to blitz through in one day's reading on a just-concluded vacation. I think Publishers' Weekly review hit the nail on the head when they said that "rather than generating suspense, the murder provides a frame for the turbulence in and around a woman propelled by idealism and strongly held beliefs." Agreed. In a bit of a twist on the normal structure of stories of this ilk, the murder gets solved about 30 pages from book's end, at which point Hyde doubles back and plays out the final day of Dr. Duprey's life. It's a microcosm of the forces that have buffeted every day of her life.
This was my first experience reading Ms. Hyde's work. I'll surely consider her earlier efforts.
