Loved this book. Being a doctor myself from south India, I can absolutely relate to the realism of the situations and characters. The author paints a picture so vividly that the reader is transported to the hills of Ethiopia. One lives and feels the emotions of the characters, cries with them and cares for them. The plot then moves halfway across the world to USA. While one wonders which way the story will evolve now, one is blown away by a totally unexpected twist where protagonist turns out to be a real life celebrated surgeon. Brilliant! This is one book that will stay with you for a long time.
