A story about this — 5 years ago
I wish I had the time to immerse myself in this one, because the story draws me in whenever I start reading just a couple of pages. I need sleep, though, so I guess I’ll take it slowly.
It’s a unique book for Kidder in that he allows himself to be part of the story rather than the omnipresent narrator. Paul Farmer challenges him in many ways and at many levels, and Kidder lets us in on his own reactions.
Beyond being a story about one man, it’s a story of how anyone can make a difference.
