Without resorting to narrative tricks, or creating a chronology salad, Patchett has mastered the art of telling a straight story well. With no experience academia, I was struck by the level of research that must have gone into this book. Also, the complex moral questions would make this great for book clubs. Props to Hope Davis for narrating a stunning audiobook. Every sentence uttered by Dr Swenson made me cringe, so palpable was her derision.
