Helpful Score: 2
Wonderful! A rare combination of a novel so well researched that it is almost historical fiction--together with an engaging and extremely well written ficticious story with very real characters who tug at your heartstrings. I can't imagine how much time the author spent in preparation. You will learn a great deal about medicine, about medical training, about Ethiopian history and West African history, along with glimpses into India's past and traditions, but all of that is fairly incidental to a great storyline with huge emotional impact.
If I had any criticism it would be that the author was too ambitious. But I loved it anyway. Xenophobes stay away.
