Gist about the Book

Set in London during the early 1840s, "The Gifts" by Liz Hyder tells the captivating tale of four women who suddenly grow wings, a phenomenon that intertwines their lives with a surgeon named Edward Meake. Obsessed with fame, Edward's dangerous quest to exploit these women for his scientific breakthrough leads to a gripping narrative of ambition, survival, and the clash between faith and science.
