Pro Reviews: Doctor

  • Enhanced Muze Note

    Duncker has an eye for period detail, and memorably re-creates the settings of real-life James's strange and lonely existence.

Publisher Notes: Doctor

  • So begins "The Doctor," a provocative, illuminating novel based on a true story about a brilliant female physician who is compelled to live as a man under the name James Miranda Barry. Patricia Duncker traces Barry's incredible life over the course of five decades and across three continents, from his cross-dressing child genius days to medical school in Edinburgh, Scotland; from his glorious career as a military surgeon to his adventures as a celebrated duelist and social figure known throughout the world. This richly inventive and entertaining tale of dark family secrets, adultery, and colonial history is a transforming contemplation on the substance of gender, the power of will, and an unforgettable portrait of a brilliant mind.
