Shattered by his wife's death, and by his own role in it,
successful cardiologist Charles Anderson volunteers to assist with
earthquake relief in an impoverished Islamic country in a constant
state of conflict with its neighbor. But when the refugees he's
come to help do not appear and artillery begins to fall in the
distance along the border, the story takes an unexpected turn.
This haunting, resonant tour de force about one man's desire to
live a moral life offers a moving exploration of the tensions
between poverty and wealth, the ethics of intervention, the deep
cultural differences that divide the world, and the essential human
similarities that unite it.
