“We are the same species. We're all human. It's not that people cannot understand me; it's simply that most of them don't want to”
Another stellar work by AJW! As a reader with an interest in medical history, I thought he did a really good job drawing inspiration from real historical events to create the world this novel occurs in. Also the texts he recommends in the “Note on Historical Accuracy” are both really interesting reads for anyone who is interested in learning more. Weak-stomached readers beware: much like Hell Followed with Us, there are some definitely grotesque bits you may want to skip through.
Shipping Daphne and Silas 5eva (also loved the Ovid reference!!)
