A Lady in Attendance
by Rachel Fordham
A Lady in Attendance was truly a refreshing read! I had not heard of “ladies in attendance” before (at least, not used in medical terminology), so totes learned something new (yay) in addition to enjoying the read. The plot was unique and surprised me at every turn. Plot points I would have expected much later on came near the beginning, leaving the story wide open to go an entirely different direction I hadn’t seen coming. (Sometimes, not reading the full back-cover description first has its perks!) Plus, how can any red-blooded female who grew up in the 80s/90s not love a character named Gilbert?! I ask you. :D
Frankly, I also found it refreshing how the characters held strong convictions–and lived by them. That came at a personal cost several times (and to several characters), and each responded admirably, acknowledging both the challenge and, if I may borrow from Lord of the Rings, that they now had “a chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality!”
Fordham is a new-to-me author, and I loved discovering both this book and the fact that she lives in Washington state. Looking forward to reading more of her books and following her journey.
I received an eARC of the book from the publisher via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
