The Good Doctor [Large Print]

Critically acclaimed novelist Damon Galgut has drawn international attention with this finalist for the Booker Prize for fiction. His first novel published in the United States, 'The Good Doctor' is a perceptive look at the tumultuous climate of post-apartheid South Afica. Embittered physician Frank Eloff grudgingly welcomes young doctor Laurence Waters to the remote, understaffed hospital in which he works. Soon thereafter, Laurence begins an outreach program for nearby villages, Frank resumes an affair with a local woman, and soldiers enter the town in search of a deposed dictator. As Frank reluctantly acknowledges his growing friendship with Laurence, a cataclysmic series of events threatens to wreck their lives.
