WHERE THE LIGHT ENTERS (Berkley Hardcover; September 10, 2019; $27.00—an enthralling epic about two trailblazing female doctors in nineteenth-century New York.

  ************ 

From 1998 through 2011, Sara Donati changed the landscape of historical fiction when she brought readers the Wilderness series, which included six historical novels that follow the Bonner family in the vast wilderness of upstate New York.

Then, Donati returned with the special brand of historical fiction her fans adore with The Gilded Hour, the start of a sweeping saga set against the backdrop of the wondrous and exciting Gilded Age, one of the most fascinating periods in America’s history. 

Now, Donati delivers the highly anticipated and evocative follow up, WHERE THE LIGHT ENTERS.

PRAISE FOR WHERE THE LIGHT ENTERS: 

“As [Donati] brings the sights, sounds, smells, and social mores of 1884 New York into sharp focus, Donati creates a timely tale of the past that illuminates the ongoing struggle for women's reproductive rights and sheds light on the passionate, centuries-long fight over abortion.”—Booklist, starred review

“Donati crafts strong female characters who draw upon the wisdom of their ancestors to transcend the slings and arrows of petty racism and sexism.” —Kirkus Reviews

ABOUT WHERE THE LIGHT ENTERS:

In WHERE THE LIGHT ENTERS, obstetrician Dr. Sophie Savard returns home to the achingly familiar rhythms of Manhattan in the early spring of 1884 to rebuild her life after the death of her husband. With the help of Dr. Anna Savard, her dearest friend, cousin, and fellow physician, she plans to continue her work aiding the disadvantaged women society would rather forget. 
 
As Sophie sets out to construct a new life for herself, Anna's husband, Detective-Sergeant Jack Mezzanotte calls on them both to consult on two new cases: the wife of a prominent banker has disappeared into thin air, and the corpse of a young woman is found with baffling wounds that suggest a killer is on the loose.  In New York, it seems that the advancement of women has brought out the worst in some men. Unable to ignore the plight of New York’s less fortunate, these intrepid cousins draw on all resources to protect their patients.

Donati’s proudly feminist characters and unflinching portrayal of early women’s healthcare exposes the threads of history still haunting our national discourse today.
