The Impossible Girl

Two hearts. Twice as vulnerable.

Manhattan, 1850. Born out of wedlock to a wealthy socialite and a nameless immigrant, Cora Lee can mingle with the rich just as easily as she can slip unnoticed into the slums and graveyards of the city. As the only female resurrectionist in New York, she’s carved out a niche procuring bodies afflicted with the strangest of anomalies. Anatomists will pay exorbitant sums for such specimens—dissecting and displaying them for the eager public.

Cora’s specialty is not only profitable, it’s a means to keep a finger on the pulse of those searching for her. She’s the girl born with two hearts—a legend among grave robbers and anatomists—sought after as an endangered prize.

Now, as a series of murders unfolds closer and closer to Cora, she can no longer trust those she holds dear, including the young medical student she’s fallen for. Because someone has no intention of waiting for Cora to die a natural death.

not really worth the time

it's industry story but in reality it really isn't worth the time spent to listen to it.

Grab your headphones for this one!

This story has it all. Fans of historical mystery such as, The Alienist should add The Impossible Girl to your listening queue Post Haste! What are you waiting for!

Amazingly wonderful.

Couldn't stop listening. Lydia Kang's books are a must read. Everytime the ending is a surprise. I can't stop wanting more from this author. Saskia Maarleveld did a wonderful bringing the book too life. Thanks to both for being with me while driving, cleaning, and working. All was easier to do.

Fun, intriguing, story

Keeps you guessing through out!
A little romance, mystical history, and thriller nicely wrapped up in a superb performance.

Bodysnatcher

The main character has a lot of grit and independent thought during this time in history. Bodysnatching for scientific research always makes for great Victorian storytelling. Especially for those with unique conditions. This story line kept me intrigued and on edge. Especially as the story progressed. Great read and one of my favorite narrators.

Engaging and haunting

Lydia Kang does it again, weaving a haunting take of magical realism, family, society, and romance into an un-put-down-able tale that will linger well past the final words.

I didn’t expect the ending!

This is a great story with a twist. It keeps you engaged and entertained all throughout.

impossible story

I may not be cool enough to understand this story. I listened to the end hoping it would prove worth my time by the end. eh.

Brilliant!

I must say I enjoyed listening and reading this wonderful story. Never had I heard of a Resurrectionist. I know of grave robbers/body snatchers so I was very interested to see where this story would head! Kudos Dr. Kang!

Exciting… nothing but excitement.

Loved this story, love, mystery, death, science. Very well done. Thrilling to everything, could not stop reading. Definitely reading the next book.
