A Beautiful Dare by Natasha Lester

My rating: 5 of 5 stars




Imagine an era when a woman’s worth is often measured by her ability to secure a favorable marriage. A time where skills in knitting and physical allure reign supreme, while intellectual pursuits are deemed a domain reserved solely for men. In such a society, even the pursuit of medical education carries with it a stigma of impropriety.

This is the backdrop against which the protagonist of this captivating tale navigates her existence. Set in the 1920s, a period starkly different from our contemporary society, Evie emerges as a figure ahead of her time. But will her forward-thinking perspective be enough to see her through the challenges she faces?

Take a journey through this enthralling and masterfully crafted short story to uncover Evie’s fate and explore the complexities of life in a bygone era.
