Book of the Week: City of God


Up this week: Beverly Swerling's City of God: A Novel of Passion and Wonder in Old New York.

Beverly's novels are spell-binding journeys into an era rich in history and intrigue. For a flavor of her work, take a peek at her latest book trailer. (Yes, there are such things as book trailers now!) This novel, in particular, caught my eye because of its many references to medical life in the 19th century. My guess that many Marvels & Tales readers will enjoy it!

    This book has been on my Wish List since I first learned its title. I read and thoroughly enjoyed the first books of this series: City of Dreams and City of Glory. City of Dreams was especially interesting from a "medical" and/or "pharmaceutical" standpoint.
