Anatomy of a Love Story

Description

Anatomy: A Love Story by Dana Schwartz

Set in 1817 Edinburgh, this Gothic historical YA follows Hazel Sinnett, a noblewoman secretly training to be a surgeon—at a time when women were barred from the profession. After being exposed and expelled from her anatomy class, Hazel makes a bold pact: pass a rigorous medical exam independently or lose everything. To gain the dissection practice she needs, she partners with Jack Currer, a hardened resurrection man who supplies fresh cadavers.

As they work undercover, they uncover a sinister conspiracy tied to a resurgence of plague and disappearing bodies in the city. Along the way, Hazel faces crushing societal limits, moral dilemmas, and undeniable attraction as her ambition collides with romance.
