Find books by time period, setting & theme, Read-alike suggestions by book and author. After an unorthodox grand tour of Europe with her brother Monty and his now-partner Percy, Felicity Montague has been following her dream of becoming a doctor – or at least, she's trying to. And, despite the men who attempt to get in her way, Felicity finds her chance – her idol, Doctor Alexander Platt, is about to embark on a research mission and rumor has it that he’s looking for assistants.

When Felicity's hopes of being taken seriously as a student of medicine are stymied in Edinburgh and she faces an unwanted proposal, she sets off on a path to Stuttgart to try to convince the doctor whose work she admires to take her on as a student. When things don’t go as planned (also known as a marriage proposal that she has no interest in and thus flees from), she ends up on Monty and Percy’s doorstep in London to begin looking for her next step.

One of the most common criticisms about historical fiction is that the female characters seem like they have been dropped from the present day into a historical setting and, thus, their reactions, their internal monologues, and their wants and needs are somehow asynchronous with the period.
