by Suman Chakraborty It's always a good sign when a story draws me in right away. An Egyptian healer with a natural ability to see sickness in people makes her living making a show of healing as if she were a charlatan.

This is one of those books that I found perfectly serviceable and fine. I didn't love it, but I didn't dislike it either.
