Regina O’Melveny’s brilliant debut celebrates 16th-century Venice as a young woman seeks her place in a changing world.
Gabriella Mondini proudly followed in the footsteps of her father, a renowned physician. But she has only now discovered just how precarious her position in an otherwise all-male profession is when suddenly, ten years after her father disappeared, she is denied permission to treat her patients, most of them female. When Gabriella receives a cryptic message from her long-missing parent, she sets out across Europe to discover where—and why—he has forsaken her.
The Book of Madness and Cures dazzles readers with Renaissance life as Gabriella attempts to unmask the mysteries of medicine…and the yearnings of her heart.

In my opinion, this book was too much nonsense...and the story was too "scattered" A waste of money!
