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

5.0

It took me by surprise that I liked this book as much as I did. I'm uncomfortable with all things medical, and this book certainly contained quite a lot of that sort of content. But this story is so beautifully woven, and needs so much to be told, that I felt like I needed to breathe through the difficult parts so that I could take in the stories of these people who should never be forgotten.
