The new novel from the author of Dissecting Stone, which became a major bestseller immediately after its US release. An epic tale of people, India and medicine.
South India, family secrets; elephants, easily coming to visit for lunch; mysterious spirits, dwelling in the underground; medicine, its romance and brutal reality; destructive passions and healing wisdom. And then there are the adventures, the dreams, the many colors, sounds, lights, and human stories woven into Indian history. It all begins in 1900 and ends in the late 1970s, though it doesn't really end at all. The story of several generations of a family of Indian Christians from Kerala, surprisingly linked to the story of a Glasgow-born Scottish doctor who is brought to India by fate. Yet Abraham Verghese's novel is not just a family saga set in an exotic setting. It is a wise and kind story about the fact that family is not created by blood relation, but by common destiny; that there is always a choice, but not always the strength to make it; that we are all forever linked to each other by our actions and inactions, and that no one is alone.
