For those who were captivated by Verghese's Cutting for Stone, themes of exile, medicine, and family also emerge in Sula's Sacrifice, the next novel in the neonatal ICU series involving Dr. Eli Kurz. Because of medical malfeasance, Eli has been encouraged to take a sabbatical in Ethiopia where he hopes a simple device may improve outcomes of newborns who are delivered outside of hospitals. Clinical research is difficult enough in the US, but even lives are at stake in this fast-paced medical love story.
Endorsements
Theft, kidnapping, ransom demands, character assassination, a sadistic Sudanese general, a supermodel turned doctor, and yes, love and redemption. Sula's Sacrifice has it all as we follow the trials and tribulations of Dr. Eli Kurz, who flees Boston to run a simple clinical trial in Ethiopia that might improve resuscitation of newborns. I had to strap myself in for the ride.
-Mark P Cohen, author of The Red Heifer post on Substack
and the upcoming novel, Listening to the Echo
Talk about a page turner! When a Sudanese refugee turned supermodel turned pediatrician comes to Ethiopia with Sula and Dr. Eli Kurz, she inadvertently sets in motion perilous tests of daring and redemption for each of them. Taeusch weaves a gripping tale with a rich insider's look at doctors abroad working in an impoverished country without a safety net.
-Daniel Weizmann, author of the Pacific Coast Highway mystery series
