Not my usual genre but thoroughly enjoyed this family saga. The author applies his considerable medical knowledge to produce some fascinatingly detailed surgical descriptions. Surprising plot twists a feature.

"In our first episode of 2024, we interviewed author and physician Abraham Verghese, who most recently published "The Covenant of Water." We talked with #Verghese about how to convey technical information in fiction."
