This was my first audio book on audible, and I did NOT have high hopes. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why? I somehow doubt that things will change for the better. falling off ones shoes and breaking a bone. People still do some pretty crazy (sometimes extreme) things to compete for good looks. It was also common for magazines to advertise gimmicks for cinching ones figure by various means. It was not uncommon to have patients with the same problem described in the story. SPOILER ALERT: I have to say that the story took me back to the mid-1960's when I was in nursing school. The story has a little mystery, a little humor, a little sorrow, a little shock, and was delightful to listen to. I love this author's style because she isn't afraid of exposing very real flaws in her characters, and her stories always seem to come to wonderful, thought-provoking conclusions. I am so glad that women are finding their own place these days. The same sentiment dictated a woman's place as well. This was a fantastic, very moving story about the way society dictated and interpreted women's beauty in the late 1800's.
