Lyn Reviews Author Debbie Kaufman's The Doctor's Mission

The Doctor’s Mission by Debbie Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cannibals? Not a usual factor in a romance. But in Africa that was still a fact of life in 1918. This is Debbie Kaufman’s debut novel and what a wonderful book! I loved the heroine Mary, a doctor who has just returned from serving the wounded in WWI. She runs smack into the hero’s determination NOT to take another woman into the very real and lethal dangers at his mission in interior of Liberia. The book shimmers with a rich cast of characters, both white and black. Ms. Kaufman gives a glimpse of what life was like not only for the missionaries but also the people of Africa. I enjoyed the battle of two strong but wounded people and the way each trial forces them to reevaluate themselves and each other. The Doctor’s Missionhighly unusual, highly recommended.

Waving hello from the ER where I brought my Daughter in law for admitting. Lyn, so sweet of you to review The Doctor’s Mission. Janet, how can we not be fascinated with cannibals? Don’t worry, I left out the recipes 🙂
Lena: Wish I had known, but maybe with book two!
Paula, Margie, Peg and Emma, thanks for your interest. Crossing my fingers for you.
AusJenny! Hi, hope my waving reaches the great Down Under. Girl, move it to the top of the pile, LOL! Oh, I know, so many books and so little time. 🙂

Thanks for sharing your review of Debby’s book, I think reading about africa and missionarys would be a different type book and interesting read. the characters of Mary and the Dr just makes it sweeter.

You snagged my interest with your Facebook post. I’m always looking for something different and, for sure and for certain, cannibals are… different! Thanks for a chance to win. 🙂

This sounds intriguing. Wish she had contacted me to be on my blog. But I book up several months in advance, so I don’t have an opening until July. I would definitely like to win a copy of the book.

I can’t wait to read Debbie’s historical. The cannibal angle has me hooked (not sure that is a good thing, but there it is).
