I wonder what happened that she had to terminate the pregnancy. Well I am glad that she turned her lemons into lemonades. I am looking forward to reading this book. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

What an interesting and heart wrenching story. To be forced to do something Candy doesn't want to do and the go through a horrible abortion is just unimaginable. Also trying to make her stand in a male dominated world could not have been an easy task. I definitely want to see how this all ends. Thanks for a detailed review. Congrats on BOTD.

When historical fiction is mentioned, I usually think of novels set in the 1800s, but this novel is set in what I find to be a very interesting period of change in one of the world's biggest, precedent-setting cities. As an extension of women's rights and the suffragette movement, the fight that Candy is involved in is still being fought today in many ways. Thanks to all the women and men who fought over the last century or more, we have taken great steps toward full equality. However, even today, the fight hasn't finished. This novel's snapshot in time is a valuable insight into our history.

A story of a young woman persevering through hardships to become a doctor. I admired her courage and commitment to succeed in a man's 'world, as it was then. Dealing with an overbearing mother, and the social morass of the time, but still wanting to honor the thousand-year-old tradition of a having a January girl, has her conflicted. The sampling doesn't elaborate on what led to her abortion, I am very interested in finding out the rest of her story. Great review!

I have not read the book yet, but I'm proud of Candy for putting her career above having a family. Her character represents the modern-day working woman whose life is not defined by marriage and kids but by her career. This is one of those books I'm adding to my must-reads list for 2023.

This is a good story about how women can move forward in life without being held back by traditional societal norms. However, i found it a bit confusing. I think the editing was not well done and i could not understand some lines. This hampers a good story which i believe has a lot of potential.
