Mary, a newly widowed American doctor, travels to a remote hospital high in the Indian Himalayas to work with a colleague of her late husband. She arrives to find this doctor missing, the hospital abandoned, and she is the only medical provider within a hundred miles.
Caught between shattering loneliness and harrowing self doubt, she struggles to overcome daunting medical and cultural obstacles in a yearlong odyssey of healing and redemption that connects her with a cast of unexpected characters.
I picked up this book a couple of weeks ago, but started reading it on Sunday. It is light reading, at the same time, Craig has portrayed the emotions and thoughts of Mary is a very realistic manner. Its been written about quite a few times, the way the hippies throng the Himalayas just to find dope. The same has mention in this as well. Its also not a new thing for a non-Indian to leave her country and try her level best to help patients or victims of third world countries. The book is about the same thing, again! And I also found that the author has gone overboard with certain events, something like Mary waiting to pee for over a day! I mean...how much can you talk about it? Pick up this novel and you'll know! Overall, a very light and boring read!
