Oh, this was a strange one.
First, I hate when a book doesn't have a fly leaf to tell me a synopsis of what I'm getting ready to read. Usually that's more of a pet peeve than anything, but in the case of this book, it really was a necessity to figure out just what the heck was going on. I went to Amazon.com and read the synopsis, because this was one surreal book.
In a nut shell -- you start out reading about the goings-on in a children's hospital during a torrential rain storm. Suddenly, the hospital is afloat, the earth is covered by seven miles of water, and the hospital is watched over by four angels. There doesn't seem to be any life left anywhere else.
What follows in this thick book is how the doctors and interns and medical students deal with day-to-day routines, narrowing in on a select few people whose stories are more closely followed. Spoiler alert -- stop reading if you don't want to ruin it for yourself.....
