I loved her from the start. An unconventional woman who takes us on a fascinating - if bumpy - ride through a man’s world. I laughed, cried and most of all cheered!

Full of heart and so eloquently written, \u003ci\u003eThat Bonesetter Woman\u003c\/i\u003e had me cheering Durie on from start to finish - I absolutely loved it' \u003cb\u003eSusan Stokes-Chapman, author of \u003ci\u003ePandora\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIt’s usual, they say, for a young person coming to London for the first time to arrive with a head full of dreams. Well, Endurance Proudfoot did not. When she stepped off the coach from Sussex, on a warm and sticky afternoon in the summer of 1757, it never occurred to her that the city would be the place where she’d make her fortune; she was just very annoyed to be arriving there at all.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeet Endurance Proudfoot: clumsy as a carthorse, strong as an ox, with a tactless tongue and a face she’s sure only a mother could love. Durie wants one thing in life: to become a bonesetter like her father. It’s physically demanding work, requiring nerves of steel, and he’s adamant it’s not a job for a woman.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStrong-willed and stubborn, Durie’s certain that in bonesetting, her big, usually clumsy hands have found their natural calling. So when she’s bundled off to London with her beautiful sister, she won’t let it stop her realising her dream. As her sister finds fame on the stage, Durie becomes England’s most celebrated bonesetter – but what goes up must come down, and her success may become her undoing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInspired by the true stories of two of Georgian England’s most famous celebrities, \u003ci\u003eThat Bonesetter Woman\u003c\/i\u003e is an uplifting tale about finding the courage to go your own way, when everyone says you can’t – and about realising that what makes you different can also make you strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Arotahi Agency","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46510267072748,"sku":"9781471193446","price":41.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/22157773482711.jpg?v=1748794884","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/that-bonesetter-woman-by-frances-quinn-9781471193446","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
