Bruno Sachs is a country doctor who makes house calls and feels
deeply for his patients. There are broken bones, unwanted
pregnancies, people without the will to live, a friend dying of
cancer. His pity for his fellow creatures is both his motivating
force and his own untreatable condition. Among the deaths, love
affairs, and small town gossip, a love story emerges at the heart
of the novel-between Dr. Sachs and a young woman upon whom he once
performed an abortion.
The Case of Dr. Sachs is a novel filled with voices of silent
suffering and arias of quiet joy, and one dedicated to the notion
that literature, like medicine, can save lives.
