I have to be honest...it sounded good to me, but I only got maybe 1/4 of the way and I quit. I did get some laughs out of it though and even now I'm smiling remembering one "scene." A short review from the book, "Born a Parsi in Bombay, sent to university and medical school in Vienna, Dr. Farrokh Daruwalla is a 59-year-old orthopedic surgeon and a Canadian citizen who lives in Toronto. Periodicallly, the doctor returns to Bombay, where most of his patients are crippled children.
"Once, 20 years ago, Dr. Daruwalla was the examining physician of two murder victims in Goa. Now, 20 years later, he will be reacquainted with the murderer." Now that I re-read it, I'm thinking maybe I didn't give it a good enough chance...but NO. The reading is now up to you! What I read about was Dr. Daruwalla trying to get blood samples from dwarfs, mostly in the circus in Bombay. I don't remember any crippled children in the story and I never got as far as any murder. Have fun!
