The Doctor And The Diva
Adrienne McDonnell
Formats & Editions
1903, Boston. Dr Ravell is a young obstetrician whose reputation for helping couples conceive has made him a rising star. He is flattered when a family of illustrious physicians turns to him to treat one of its own members.
Erika von Kessler is a beautiful and ambitious opera singer who has struggled for years to become pregnant. As the young doctor s attraction to her increases, and his treatments prove ineffectual, Erika s despair worsens.
And when Dr Ravell takes a great risk that may imperil his promising career, a secret he can share with no one, it is a decision that will change their dreams and destinies.
What ensues is an unforgettable love story that sweeps across snowy Boston, a lush island of the Caribbean, to the graceful piazzas and opera stages of Italy.
