Operation Wandering Soul
- By Richard Powers
I was going to start reading this book a couple months ago, but got sidetracked. It is the story of two doctors who are brought together in a pediatrics ward in urban LA. The book deals with childhood disease and death and, from what I've heard, is incredibly sad.
I'm only 50 pages or so in and I can tell this book is going to take me some time. Powers' writing is laden with such powerful (and beautiful) imagery that it demands careful attention.
