This book was absolutely stunning! I loved the alternating POV's between Cecilia and David. The writing itself was beautiful. I thought the historical setting was intriguing and captivating and loved how medicine was a key part of the story. The Jewish representation was so well done and I adored David entirely. Cecelia was a nice contrast and I enjoyed her character arc throughout the book. This was quick-paced and lyrical and I was invested from page one. It's diverse not only in faith and religion but also in sexuality, mental health, and neurodivergence. The way Natasha described certain events or certain feelings was absolutely brilliant. There was also a nice balance of lightness amidst all the heavy moments and I thought it was done so well. I loved this book! Thank you to Random House for providing me with an e-ARC to read and review!
