My Thoughts:
Trusted surgeon. Loving wife. Murderer?
Dr. Anne Wiley is a young and very successful heart surgeon. In her twelve-year career, she had never lost a patient. And one day, exactly this happens. A patient dies on her operating table. After his heart refuses to beat, she realizes she knows him. Did she kill her patient? Is she a murderer?The story is told from three perspectives: Anne, Derrick, and Paula. All characters are narrated by Gwendolyn Druyor. In general, I liked her narration, except for the character of Anne.
I had mainly two issues with this novel. Anne is too perfect. She is a beautiful, rich, and perfect surgeon who never lost a patient in her twelve-year career. I’m not sure how probable this is. Next, Anne, as a successful female surgeon, should be a very strong character, but she didn’t seem this way to me. I guess this is partly the fault of the narration of Anne, which I have to admit, I didn’t like.
Otherwise, I was curious about the story, and I think this is a good novel with an interesting plot. The Surgeon is a medically well-researched novel. You may like it, as many other readers did.
