Reviews

[Myra · Rating 2 out of 5]

your standard doctor/nurse romance from the 60s.

[Andi · Rating 3 out of 5]

Published in 1960, this book suffers from the conventions of the time period which prevented certain topics, like sex, from being explicitly discussed. Normally, this doesn’t bother, but here there is an underlying ‘mystery’ involving the h which failed to get a proper treatment as a result of these restrictions. The resolution, if you can call it that, was so vague, it was rather a letdown. It’s too bad as otherwise the story is atypical, and I liked both the h and H.
