Fascinating read, I couldn't put it down once I picked it up. This novel jumps back and forth between present day and the mid 1800s, between the woman who finds the skeleton in her yard, and the characters in the 1800s who's skeleton it may be . It kept me up all night reading. It brings up the macabre history of medical schools, when students essentially had to provide their own cadavers to dissect, and the ressurectionists who made a living digging up the fresh, and sometimes not so fresh corpses to sell to the medical schools. As usual Tess Gertitson keeps you guessing til the very end!
