Publisher Description A "gorgeous, thoughtful, heartbreaking" historical novel, The Cape Doctor is the story of one mans journey from penniless Irish girl to one of most celebrated and accomplished figures of his time (Lauren Fox, New York Times bestselling author of Send for Me). Beginning in Cork, Ireland, the novel recounts Jonathan Mirandus Perrys journey from daughter to son in order to enter medical school and provide for family, but Perry soon embraced the new-found freedom of living life as a man.
