“Child, the past is past, and furthermore it’s different every time I remember it. I’ll tell you about the future, the one you will make.”

This story spans three generations and is full of both loss and joy. I experienced all of the emotions and want readers to go in blind. The reading experience is so rich. This is an epic story of family, love, and faith. I laughed. I cried. I didn’t want it to end. And I can’t wait to read more Verghese.  His writing, compassion, and care for characters are all outstanding. He writes both medical technical details and heartfelt emotional connections well. Masterful book!!!
