Review Excerpt:

Henry Gray, the man behind Gray’s Anatomy (he had the help of a fellow doctor who created the drawings), became Hayes’s obsession. He finds out as much as he can about Gray’s life — not easy, because Gray died at 34 and left no diary or letters — and enters the dissection lab himself, where his first incision feels like cutting “a soft piece of leather.”
