Kaite Welsh Boeken
Kaite Welsh schrijft feministische historische misdaadromans tegen de sfeervolle achtergrond van het Victoriaanse Edinburgh. Haar fictie duikt in complexe thema's door middel van meeslepende verhalen en gedenkwaardige personages. Welsh biedt een uniek perspectief op de samenleving, vaak met protagonisten die zich aan de randen van de conventies bewegen. Haar stilistische bekwaamheid en inzichtelijke verkenning maken haar een onderscheidende stem in de hedendaagse literatuur.

Sarah Gilchrist has fled from London to Edinburgh in disgrace and is determined to become a doctor, despite the misgivings of her family and society. As part of the University of Edinburgh's first intake of female medical students, Sarah comes up against resistance from lecturers, her male contemporaries, and perhaps worst of all her fellow women, who will do anything to avoid being associated with a fallen woman. When one of Sarah's patients turns up in the university dissecting room as a battered corpse, Sarah finds herself drawn into Edinburgh's dangerous underworld of bribery, brothels and body snatchers and a confrontation with her own past.
