Book 27: The Book of Madness and Cures, Regina O'Melveny


Historical fiction, about a woman doctor in 16th century Europe. The main character sets off on a journey to find her father (also a doctor), leaving Venice to travel across Europe and North Africa. I enjoyed this - it was a good story, and the "medicine" in the book felt authentic to the time (though what do I know).
