Sinopsis

Edgar Fawcett's "An Ambitious Woman" offers a nuanced exploration of social aspirations and the constraints of gender in late 19th-century America. Fawcett employs a vivid, realistic literary style characterized by meticulous character development and sharp dialogue that brings his protagonist's struggles and desires to life. The narrative intricately weaves themes of ambition and societal expectations, reflecting a period where the pursuit of personal fulfillment often collided with traditional roles, setting the stage for a profound commentary on the evolving landscape of gender dynamics in the era. Fawcett, a prominent figure in American literature, was known for his keen observations of the social fabric of his time, influenced by his own experiences in a society marked by class stratification and rigid societal norms. His diverse background, encompassing both artistic pursuits and an interest in the dynamics of human relationships, culminated in a work that not only entertains but also provokes thought about the societal constraints on women and the complexities of ambition. This book is a compelling read for anyone interested in feminist literature, social commentary, or historical narratives that challenge conventions. Fawcett's astute insights and rich prose make "An Ambitious Woman" both a significant literary piece and a poignant reflection on the quest for identity and success against the backdrop of societal limitations.

What secret grips Corvus Hall? 
Visiting the Great Exhibition to view the wax anatomical models of the famous but reclusive Dr Silas Strangeway, Jem Flockhart and Will Quartermain find a severed hand, perfectly dissected and laid out amongst the exhibits. Assuming it to be a prank by medical students they return it to Dr Strangeway, who works at Corvus Hall, a private anatomy school run by Dr Alexander Crowe - once one of Edinburgh's most revered anatomists. Jem's persistence reveals that a body does indeed lie in the school's mortuary, minus its right hand. The body has no provenance. More macabre still, its face has been dissected making identification impossible. 
All is not as it should be at Corvus Hall. Dr Crowe's daughter, Lilith, visits the mortuary in the dead of night. Her twin sisters, Sorrow and Silence - one blind and one deaf - exert a malign influence over the students. Organs, freshly dissected, appear in the anatomical museum. Fear grips lecturers and students, even as something unseen binds them in a bloody pact of silence. 
'Gothic. Gory. Glorious . . . E. S. Thompson's Jem Flockhart books are the best I've read in years. Jem is just my kind of heroine: scarred, smart, complex, and unapologetically queer'. - Kirsty Logan, author of The Gloaming
