Online Book Discussion - Fit Lit Book Club

This month we are reading "The Girl in His Shadow" by Audrey Blake, which is the Big Library Read book for July. Come prepared to discuss this title or other titles about the history of medicine!

Adults interested in new ways to stay fit and healthy are invited to read from a suggested book list and attend this monthly Zoom discussion. Discussion will include advice and commentary from Marion County Public Health Department staff.

The Girl in His Shadow is available as a print book, an e-book, and or as a downloadable audiobook in the Library's collection. From July 13-27th it will be available for unlimited downloads as an e-book or downloadable audiobook as part of the Big Library Read.

"When Dr. Croft takes in orphan Eleanor Beady, he doesn't realize that he's gained an apprentice. Raised amidst Croft's experiments, "Nora" becomes his most trusted assistant-an unthinkable and unlawful pursuit for a woman. Nora helps Croft's groundbreaking research and his clinic gain recognition, and she finds she doesn't mind working in the background, as long as she can continue to hone her skills. But the arrival of a new surgical resident threatens to undo all that Nora has strived for. Dr. Daniel Gibson is too proper to be trusted, too skilled to dismiss, and too smart to be fooled for long. He expects Nora to change her clothes before dinner and spend her evenings perfecting her needlework, not her sutures. Though Nora knows it's best not to reveal her expansive knowledge of human anatomy, she isn't going to give up the work that fascinates and fulfills her-no matter what it costs her."
