"Schwartz's magical novel is at once gripping and tender, and the intricate plot is engrossing as the reader tries to solve the mystery. She doesn't miss a beat in either the characterization or action, scattering clues with a delicate, precise hand. This is, in the end, the story of the anatomy of the human heart." - Booklist (starred review)
Dana Schwartz's Anatomy: A Love Story is a gothic tale full of mystery and romance.
Hazel Sinnett is a lady who wants to be a surgeon more than she wants to marry.
Jack Currer is a resurrection man who's just trying to survive in a city where it's too easy to die.
When the two of them have a chance encounter outside the Edinburgh Anatomist's Society, Hazel thinks nothing of it at first. But after she gets kicked out of renowned surgeon Dr. Beecham's lectures for being the wrong gender, she realizes that her new acquaintance might be more helpful than she first thought. Because Hazel has made a deal with Dr. Beecham: if she can pass the medical examination on her own, Beecham will allow her to continue her medical career. Without official lessons, though, Hazel will need more than just her books--she'll need corpses to study.
Lucky that she's made the acquaintance of someone who digs them up for a living.
But Jack has his own problems: strange men have been seen skulking around cemeteries, his friends are disappearing off the streets, and the dreaded Roman Fever, which wiped out thousands a few years ago, is back with a vengeance. Nobody important cares--until Hazel.
Now, Hazel and Jack must work together to uncover the secrets buried not just in unmarked graves, but in the very heart of Edinburgh society.

This books is one of the best novels I have ever read. I have always said there’s a special magic in young adult novels but this is true beauty! I read this book so quickly and mourn the loss of it! It is a beautiful journey of growth, knowledge, and sacrifice. I recommend this to everyone!
Such a fun little duology. Enjoyed reading it
It’s a gray book the print isn’t off and the book doesn’t feel flimsy. It’s a nice paperback that you could find at Barnes & Noble‘s.
Good story will get sequel
If you're looking for a true story, this isn't one. It IS a love story, but it isn't one in the way you would think. The MC DOES have a love interest, but her true love is working in medicine as a surgeon. While this is not exactly the book I was expecting, it is written very well, so much so that im currently reading the second in the series, "Immortality" . I reccomend this book to anyone who likes historical fiction, or wants to try a book in the historical fiction category, but doesn't know where to start. Buy it. You won't regret it.
