Not Your Surgeon General

"The world turns on our every action, and our every omission, whether we know it or not." - Cutting for Stone

I finished the novel as I have many others, sitting near a busy airport gate waiting for a flight. I was so engaged in the story that the surrounding din was not a distraction, but rather support for the last days main character Marion spent in NYC. The story took at least two unexpected turns, and the many edits/re-writes the author mentions in the acknowledgements served a positive purpose for the reader. Survival and loss are continual threads in the book with all the main segments covered: love, life, home, and hope. The title is definitely worthy of a hearty GBC discussion next week.
