Rezensionen

"This precise, watchful novel reveals the loneliness of the immigrant experience, even when cloaked in outward success... a novel about healers and healing, about unflashy, quiet heroism...[with] lyrical, lush, deeply felt prose... a soulful, melodic, rhapsodic novel."-THE NEW YORK TIMES

"The novel also elucidates with remarkable feeling how war reverberates through a person's lifetime-their body, mind, and memories-no matter how far in the past it may seem. This story is filled with as much heartache and healing as it is historical significance." -KIRKUS REVIEWS

"An ambitious story charting the travails of an elderly immigrant doctor...Lee offers touching details...fans of immigrant stories will appreciate Lee's labor of love."-PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
