From the Seattle Book Review:

The medical profession is an odd bird: intimately engaged with human life at its most joyful and most sorrowful and most messy — and also, somehow, always holding itself apart. From William Carlos Williams to Henry Marsh, books by doctors betray that carefully guarded distance.

This week, The Seattle Review of Books is sponsored by R. T. Lawrence, who writes a different kind of doctor book. What we love about the Anchorage physician’s novels is that they close the gap between doctors and the rest of humanity. Lawrence’s second novel, House of Jesus, follows a jaded surgeon to Haiti, just after the 2010 earthquake. Seattle surgeon Phillip Scott (we also love that Seattle setting!) has a classic doctor-knows-best attitude, until he encounters human suffering on a very different scale.

Check out the first chapter from Lawrence’s book, which he’s generously sharing on our sponsor feature page this week only — and we guarantee you’ll be pulled in..

To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf (book review)

ByMarkus McDowell

To the Lighthouse By Virginia Woolf   This novel is considered a masterpiece by many.

Now available! The Melody of Three, a new fantasy novel by S.D. Reeves

ByCassandra Anderson

Author S.D. Reeves pens a new fantasy novel in the world he created in Curses of Scale.

Sorcerer Christaan De Rein’s return to Liverpool does not go well, starting with the fact that his trusted apprentice, Higgins, dies on the way. Then again, Higgins dies a lot. Of course, Rein doesn’t expect to be welcomed with open arms after being banished for nine years, but a cryptic summons from The Musician herself cannot go unanswered.

But when Rein arrives all is in chaos. People with fairy blood are turning up dead. The Forum Magicae is undone and the Curators sieged.

And in another world altogether, where Earth is just a legend, a girl named Niena and a cursed lyre hold the key to saving both realms. Or destroying them.
