About the Book

In this gripping follow up to "The Boundary Stone," Lady Catherine Abbott's life takes an unexpected turn when an abused young woman forces her to examine the privileges of 17th century English society, the roles of women and her own place in the world. Determined to discover the mysteries of the human body, daring physick, Simon McKensie, fights once more against superstition, ignorance and the vast, unknown boundaries of science when he creates a remarkable experiment that could change the very course of medicine itself. Set against the sweeping backdrop of both the Great Fire of London and the extraordinary discoveries of the Scientific Revolution, Simon and Catherine together must face the ruinous consequences of his fierce, intellectual curiosity and his dangerous thirst for knowledge. "The Skeptical Physick" is a Chaucer Award winner for historical fiction and a Chatelaine Award Grand Prize winner for romantic fiction.

Review :
"The prose is eloquent and vivid. The characters are reliable, selfless and courageous. And the plot is an immersive, fascinating tale..." "The Skeptical Physick" is another beautifully written, incredibly enthralling tale by Gail Avery Halverson that grabs you from the very first page and does an exceptional job of blending historical facts with fiction that is both enlightening and wonderfully compelling," "While a great romance is at the forefront, the threads of early medical research and experimentation and the awakening of women to the idea they need not be restricted to a 'station' in life makes this a fascinating and captivating read. I highly recommend it!" "An excellent read!" "This sequel was equally as gripping as its predecessor, "The Boundary Stone." Beautifully written story of the Great Fire in London that once again, left me feeling like a character witnessing the events first hand." "Rarely do I find a book that I don't want to put down. I could have finished "The Skeptical Physick" in a couple of readings, but paced myself for the joy of reading it. Particularly loved the description of the fire and the medical experiments. You need to read this book! So looking forward to #3!" "it was a page-turner from beginning to end!" "Multi-layered, alluring, and exceptionally atmospheric!"
