It\u2019s 1829 and Dr. William Whitcraft has his hands full. When he’s not trying to dream up a cure for hysteria\u2014the scourge of London’s polite society\u2014he juggles a busy medical practice, a lovely but demanding fianc\u00e9e, an over-enthusiastic patient seeking his affections, and the emergence of an ominous rivalry with a dashing fellow professional. Not to mention a secret dalliance of his own with a locally famous procuress. The Five Step Plan is a light-hearted farce, illuminating the hypocritical world of 19th century English society, where one must navigate the bounds of propriety, while mastering the art of clandestine intrigue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Review:<\/h2>\n

In the Five Step Plan we follow Dr. Whitcraft as he navigates his practice full of women with hysteria.\u00a0 While trying to find a new technique to relieve women of their hysterics he juggles his other patients, his newly acquired fianc\u00e9e and a tryst with a local madam.\u00a0 Dr. Whitcraft soon becomes very popular after learning a very effective five step maneuver that would have a profound effect on his female patients.\u00a0 Unfortunately, his popularity comes with a few challenges and consequences.\u00a0 He sees a very active rival going for his fianc\u00e9e and a patient of his becomes obsessive.\u00a0 In a world where scandal and intrigue is frowned upon can Dr. Whitcraft continue his success or will his world fall apart when secrets are revealed?
\nThis was a very unique read.\u00a0 It was very interesting being in the shoes of a doctor who treated “hysteria”\u00a0 in women.\u00a0 The idea of the pelvic massage and the paroxysm was intriguing and comical at times.\u00a0 The collision of propriety and sexual needs and wants was the true backbone of this story.\u00a0 The 1800’s way of thinking and ideals made medicine and sex taboo subjects that tended to paint women in rolls that in today’s society are completely backwards.\u00a0 Dr. Whitcraft experiences all the aspects of women in this story through his practice and his private life.\u00a0 Overall, this was an interesting and comical at times novel that will definitely keep you entertained.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
