Sylvia Myer MD: Sometime Somewhere

Sylvia Myer MD

General book description

Whether the past lurched forward and snatched her back, or the present just let her go, Sylvia Myer never knew. All she did know was that she was at one moment in Gower St. London in June 2016 AD., and the next moment she was in Gower St. London in June 1800 AD
Her plan had been to go visit her mother in Winchester in the west country. Instead she arrived in Somerstown London in the pre railway era of ‘Pride and Prejudice’.
In the blink of an eye she had lost her home, her family, her livelihood and her world.
A weaker spirit might have crashed to this plus culture shock, destitution, depression and a horde of other traumas.
Sylvia didn’t.
This was an old world that she had read about; and it was also a new world because, outside novels and books on history, it had been forgotten for her generation.
She might be a physician in 2016, but in 1800 she was lucky – and needy enough - to accept being a school teacher for children. She made friends. She earned respect. And she earned a living.
Medicine could come later.
Also she met Sam Bullen who had just come home from India with a fortune and no wife.
