I had previously read Gordon's The Physician which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was intrigued by this jacket because I thought he only wrote historical fiction, and this book is set in contemporary times. It's the last in the Cole family trilogy. Gordon never simply has his characters act; he always lets you into their thoughts as they struggle with choices they have to deal with in life.

Un libro muy ameno y de fácil lectura, te atrapa al instante y jamas aburre, es el cierre de la trilogía de la familia Colé y es muy, muy diferente de el médico y chamán asi que puedo entender por que a muchas personas no les gusta, pero para mi al contrario este cambio de escenarios me resulto atrayente.
Ubicado en la época no actual pero si moderna, nos lleva por la vida de una.mujer que lleva el peso de venir de una Dinastía de grandes doctores y que además lleva el nombre de un muy reconocido ancestro y aún así sobrelleva de gran manera esta situación con sus propios problemas personales, laborales y éticos, a mi me deja un buen sabor de boca.

I found myself disliking the modern setting of this book because I enjoyed the historical settings of the last two so much. Also, Gordon's difficulty with female POV showed through in the writing in certain moments--for example, the character keeps celebrating how "women can do anything" in moments when she learns a new skill or succeeds at something, which really rang false. And, ultimately, this felt like a romance novel, while in his other books the romance was important to characterization rather than plot.
