In mid-nineteenth century society, how did health practitioners deal with the psyche? The male protagonist in this novel, young Dr. Lacey, echoes the view of Florence Nightingale—that sometimes what the nurse gave the patient was more important than what the doctor had to give. Teaming up with a Nightingale nurse, they create a charity hospital for children living in the poorest neighbourhood of London. Dr. Lacey will save her from utter economic destitution, but she will save him from his debilitating sense of guilt and malaise. She becomes his emotional and psychological healer using her compassion, concern, and deep understanding. Their small Whitechapel hospital alas never existed, but the ideas, both social and medical, were certainly in the air. This is the year 1860, fourteen years before the London School of Medicine for Women was founded.
