The Doctor's Wife by Myra Hargrave McIlvain is a historical fiction book that revolves around the lives of Dr. Stein and Amelia Anton. Amelia initially worked for Von Ewald as a guardian. Her job was rescinded after the death of Otto. Dr. Stein is a prominent physician with great expertise in his field. How did these two lovebirds manage to meet despite their different fates?

Amelia is looking for a way to survive; getting married to Dr. Stein should not be an option for her to be liberated from destitution. Will their marriage change Amelia's life for good? Some Germans were spotted while boarding Texas from the Indian port. Exposure to bad weather and environmental conditions had caused increased disease and mortality rates for foreigners. How did they end up in such a location? How were they attended to?

This book was indeed an incredible read for me. Reading about how Amelia was doing her best to be a lovely wife to Dr. Stein was fascinating. My few favorite characters in this book were Amelia, Dr. Stein, Frau Fischer, and Anna. Their roles in this book were captivating in this book. I did not find any typographical or grammatical errors in that book, which shows that it was exceptionally well-edited by the author. I loved the captions every chapter in this book started with. One can easily tell what to expect from the caption.

Despite my love for this book, I still have some dislikes. The author used complex grammar in her writing, which was deemed to be a sort of distraction to me while I was reading. This is because I had to make use of my dictionary countless times, which cut off my flow all the book. I also did not like the way a lot of characters were enlisted in the beginning part of the book. I was confused and had a hard time knowing who in particular was being referred to. Other than this, I don't have any issues with the book.

I felt sorry for Frau Fischer's misfortune. She went through a lot in this book. Amelia's love twist in this book was a blow to me, though. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. I deducted one star due to the issues I had with this book, already listed above. I recommend this book to people over sixteen who love a book that talks about relationships, ailments, and life struggles.

The chapter captions were a delightful touch. They provided a glimpse into what lay ahead, piquing my curiosity and making me eager to dive into each new section. This thoughtful addition not only added structure to the book but also served as a clever way to build anticipation and maintain interest throughout.Thanks
