Book Review |

| (by- Linda ) |
This is a story that illuminates the chilling history of lobotomies. It is told from the perspective of Ruth, the wife of an innovative, revolutionary, and charismatic neurologist, and it shows the shocking truth behind this formerly widespread medical practice. Ruth is easy to like; she is relatable and deeply cares for the patients, always striving to do what is best. I loved her transformation from an ambitious yet timid partner to a powerhouse ready to fight for her beliefs.
The book also explores themes of love, betrayal, and the catastrophic fallout of unbridled ambition. While the subject is disturbing, the author's compelling narrative and well-developed characters make this a thought-provoking and intellectually stimulating read that will leave you pondering long after you've finished the book.
