Ingenious Pain

In Andrew Miller's award-winning debut, "Ingenious Pain," we follow the life of James Dyer, a unique individual born without the ability to feel pain. As he ascends the social ladder in Georgian society to become a renowned surgeon, his emotional detachment hinders his personal connections. However, his journey takes a significant turn when he encounters a figure that challenges and changes him during a pivotal mission to inoculate Empress Catherine of Russia against smallpox.
