Helpful Score: 4
What a beautiful story, by an eloquent writer. I was lost in the story from mid-way through the first chapter. I love books that teach me something about the history of other countries, as well as give me insight into the country's citizens everyday lives.
I loved the characters: Especially Hema and Ghosh. One of the things that struck me in reading this, was that each of the characters--prominent and bit-parts were unlike any I can ever remember reading before. That's pretty hard to pull off. I could picture them in my mind as I read about them and I had compassion for almost all of them. This is another story that will remind American's how spoiled we truly are. We take so much for granted.
Each of the character's that formed the inner circle of Missing Hospital became like close friends. One's I would be proud to know. When something happened to any of them, it was devastating to me.
I read someone else's remarks about there being too much medical jargon--personally I didn't have a problem with it. I felt I learned a little bit about surgery and some of its complications. What I didn't understand, I could still make sense out of.
I'm still thinking about the story and am sad to be at the end. This is one of those rare books that I'm sure I will reread again in the future. I can't recommend it enough.
I certainly hope they make it into a movie and one that does it justice.
