Sarah Gilchrist has fled London and a stressed past to become listed on the School of Edinburgh's medical school in 1892, the first yr it admits women. She is determined to become doctor despite the misgivings of her family and population, but Sarah quickly detects plenty of barriers at school itself: professors who refuse to instruct their new pupils, male students established to drive out their woman counterparts, and - perhaps most detrimental of all - her feminine peers who'll do anything to don't be associated with a fallen woman. Desperate for an effective education, Sarah turns to 1 of the city's ramshackle charitable clinics for extra training. The St. Giles' Infirmary for girls ministers to the downtrodden and drunk, the thieves and whores with nowhere else to move. Within this environment, alongside a group of smart and challenging instructors, Sarah gets quite an education. However when Lucy, one of Sarah's patients, arises in the university dissecting room as a battered corpse, Sarah detects herself attracted into a murky underworld of bribery, brothels, and body snatchers. Painfully alert to just how little separates her own life from that of her previous patient's, Sarah is determined to learn what happened to Lucy and bring those in charge of her fatality to justice. But as she looks for answers in Edinburgh's dank alleyways, bawdy homes, and fight night clubs, Sarah comes closer and closer to uncovering one of Edinburgh's most rewarding investments and, in doing so, puts her own life in danger. An amazing listen with an excellent heroine, a amazingly drawn environment, and amazing insights into what it was prefer to study drugs as a female in those days, The Pay of Sin is a stunning debut that heralds a dazzling new voice in historical fiction.
