My Own Country: A Doctor's Story by Abraham Verghese

4.0

Recommended by a former student worker, and I'm glad I listened. Verghese's perspective on the early days of AIDS in rural Tennessee is powerfully, frankly, and thoughtfully told, and accessible to a layperson. I did feel that his personal narrative was a bit oddly attached - not quite enough information to be fully informative, but enough to occasionally distract from the main narrative. Still, highly recommended to any readers interested in public health, HIV/AIDS history, or memoirs.
