Publisher's Summary
A stunning debut novel in the vein of Sarah Waters' historical fiction
and inspired by true events, it tells the fascinating story of a woman
who must choose between revenge and mercy when she encounters the doctor
who subjected her to dangerous medical experiments in a New York City
Jewish orphanage.
In 1919, Rachel Rabinowitz is a vivacious four-year-old living with
her family in a crowded tenement on New York City's Lower East Side.
When tragedy strikes, Rachel is separated from her brother, Sam, and
sent to a Jewish orphanage where Dr. Mildred Solomon is conducting medical
research. Subjected to X-ray treatments that leave her disfigured, Rachel
suffers years of cruel harassment from the other orphans. But when she
turns 15, she runs away to Colorado, hoping to find the brother she
lost, and discovers a family she never knew she had.
Though Rachel believes she's shut out her painful childhood memories,
years later she is confronted with her dark past when she becomes a
nurse at Manhattan's Old Hebrews Home, and her patient is none other
than the elderly, cancer-stricken Dr. Solomon. Rachel becomes obsessed
with making Dr. Solomon acknowledge and pay for her wrongdoing. But
each passing hour Rachel spends with the old doctor reveals to Rachel
the complexities of her own nature. She realizes that a person's fate
- to be one who inflicts harm or one who heals - is not always set in
stone.
Lush in historical detail, rich in atmosphere, and based on true events,
Orphan Number 8 is a powerful, affecting novel of the unexpected choices
we are compelled to make that can shape our destinies.
