Sinclair

Edinburgh surgeon, James Sinclair, is prepared to give up his family and the woman he loves to make his fortune with East India Company but when things don't go to plan he is forced to start his life anew.

Returning to London, Sinclair finds himself torn between the love of two women - the young and attractive widow Charlotte Leadam, the owner of the Tooley Street apothecary shop, and the vivacious and clever Iona McNeal.

Thus begins the Tales of Tooley Street, a heart-warming and gripping saga about a family of apothecary surgeons in 18th century London.

Set against the corruption and greed of the East India Company and the development of the medical profession in Georgian London, this story of love and friendship has a cast of characters that will imprint themselves onto your heart forever.

About the Author
Julia Herdman studied history at the University of Kent in Canterbury where she focused on medieval and early modern history, reading the Roman classics, Norse sagas and the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. Now, her interest and inspiration is the development of the urban middle class in Georgian Britain, particularly the development of the medical profession in Edinburgh and London. Writing about the things nice girls shouldn't mention in polite conversation - politics, religion, sex, and money is her passion. Her books are steeped in period detail and focus on family, friendship and love. At the heart of every story there is always a powerful and compelling romance.
