My Name Is Mary Sutter by Robin Oliveira
5.0
I really enjoy historical fiction and this book didn't disappoint. My Name is Mary Sutter takes place during the Civil War and is written from a female perspective. Not only was Mary Sutter female, she also wanted to be a surgeon. That was something completely unheard of at the time. Mary Sutter was a twenty years old, an excellent midwife and also wealthy, not someone you'd expect to end up in the Civil War.
This book isn't pretty and at times it isn't easy to read, but it really puts you in the action, makes you feel a part of the grittiness of what happened. Some of it is rather graphic, describing just how conditions were during the Civil War. If you have a weak stomach, I'd think twice about reading this book.
