![]() ![]() If that doesn't say a lot about the quality of the book, I don't know what does!Įrich Segal continues to amaze me with his storytelling abilities. I started it on a Tuesday evening around 7 p.m. I read the hardcover version of this book, which was 679 pages. "Segal's best work to date."- "New York Post" A moving and compelling novel of doctors and their fears-how they confront them or are confounded by them."- "UPI." "Doctors" -heartbreaking, witty, inspiring, and utterly, grippingly real-is a vibrant portrait that culminates in a murder, a trial. Yet even their devotion to each other, even their medical gifts may not be enough to save the one life they treasure above all others. At the novel's heart is the unforgettable relationship of Barney Livingston and Laura Castellano, childhood friends who separately find unsettling celebrity and unsatisfying love-until their friendship ripens into passion. From the crucible of med school's merciless training through the demanding hours of internship and residency to the triumphs-and sometimes tragedies-beyond, "Doctors" brings to vivid life the men and women who seek to heal but who must first walk through fire. His stunning novel reveals the making of doctors-what makes them tick, scheme, hurt. Writing with all the passion of "Love Story" and power of "The Class," Erich Segal sweeps us into the lives of the Harvard Medical School's class of 1962. ![]()

The play is receiving a respectful, low key revival at Drayton Entertainment’s comfy St Jacobs Country Playhouse in Waterloo, which allowed me to ponder that question. I wonder if Alfred Uhry’s Driving Miss Daisy, a minor classic of late twentieth century American theatre, is weathering the test of time, or like its title character becoming progressively weaker. ![]() ![]() Driving Miss Daisy at St Jacobs Country Playhouse ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His work with Bergman made Nykvist an in-demand industry figure, and he would go on to shoot movies in Hollywood and beyond, for directors like Bob Rafelson, Bob Fosse, Philip Kaufman, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Woody Allen. But their union truly began with The Virgin Spring-that savage medieval folk tale ushered in the new era of unsparing, gorgeously shot psychological portraits and open-air location photography that would take Bergman from the devastating God’s Silence trilogy to the richly life-affirming Fanny and Alexander.

Debut novelist Joukhadar gracefully balances the gritty, often horrific truth of the refugee's plight with the lyrical near-fairy tale she has created (in both time periods), layered with burnished hope and occasionally overplayed sentiment. ![]() Parallels abound, from the spunky, triumphant heroines to mapmaking as a key to finding oneself to the special stone Nour hunts, once the eye of a terrifying winged creature battled by Rawiya.

More than 800 years earlier, Rawiya, the daughter of an impoverished widow, disguises herself as a boy and leaves medieval Ceuta-modern Spain's foothold on the African coast-and apprentices herself to a mapmaker, traveling with him throughout the Levant.

After the death of her beloved father, imaginative 11-year-old Nour leaves New York City, where she was born, and returns home with her cartographer mother and two older sisters to the family's native Syria, where bombs released by Assad's forces soon destroy their home and send them on a desperate flight across North Africa. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Esha and Kunal's paths cross one fated night, an impossible chain of events unfolds. ![]() His uncle, the general, has ensured that Kunal never strays from the path-even as a part of Kunal longs to join the outside world, which has only been growing more volatile.
