My Sweet Curiosity
My Sweet Curiosity by Amanda Hale (Thistledown $19.95)
Described as both scientific and spiritual, Amanda Hale's My Sweet Curiosity is another bold, cross-continental attempt from the Hornby Islander to connect individuals from different centuries. Hale combines the life and times of 16th century anatomist Andreas Vesalius with the amniotic memories of University of Toronto medical student Natalya Kulikovsky. In this brave novel that is literally about soul-searching, Kulikovsky simultaneously falls in love with a talented cellist named Dai Ling Xiang. The modern-day protagonist was born only after her mother had five miscarriages and was diagnosed with a hostile womb. She was flushed from the womb three days after fertilization and dropped into a test tube.
