Blood Doctor,The. Barbara Vine412 руб
That’s what Martin Nanther’s great-grandfather Henry was interested in. Blood. But, as Martin discovers whilst researching Henry’s life, he was not just expert – he was obsessed. As Queen Victoria’s favoured physician he became expert in diseases of the blood, particularly the royal disease of haemophilia. What was he trying to conceal? Were the tragedies of his family life more than mere accidents? And what implications does it have for Martin, the blood doctor’s descendant? Barbara Vine’s latest novel is a chilling tale of ambition, obsession and bad blood. Yet reading between the lines of Henry’s medical essays and diary, Martin begins to suspect that his great-grandfather was less than candid about both his life and work. 2003 |
