If you like sweeping historical fiction with a dash of fantasy, a bit of romance and some mystery elements, this book is for you.
“The Physician of Nineveh “offers a premise both intriguing and somewhat absurd and give us the thrill of buried mysteries rather than hard science or action.
We have the story of a royal physician, Mannu-ki-Ashur, from the 7Th century BCE who time-cross into modern-day London in search of a cure for his dying love. In London he walks into Dr. Kate Mayne life, an Assyriologist expert in the secrets of ancient Mesopotamia, claiming to be from Niveneh.
The story goes back and forth between the two-time lines and is easy to follow. The written style is smooth and is richly imagined and laced with ancient secrets and a touch of the impossible. As for the time travel element, it’s simply a convenient device for effect. I didn’t think I would be so taken with this story but I simply loved it. I was easily transported to another time, another world and into a strange but charming story.
In a few words:
Absolutely an enchanting and magical story I enjoyed very much.
Well-said and well-done
