Jeannette said:
"He's a pediatrician currently in divinity school at Harvard, and this is a sort of magical realism set in the worlds of western medicine and medieval theology--but it's as readable as a beach book, and funny, and stylistically beautiful.

added a quote:
"“I have always thought it rather interesting to follow the involuntary movements of fear in clever people. Fools coarsely display their cowardice in all its nakedness, but the others are able to cover it with a veil so delicate, so daintily woven with small plausible lies, that there is some pleasure to be found in contemplating this ingenious work of the human intelligence.” " — Alexis de Tocqueville | |||
