Description
Belva Plain weaves a sweeping multi-generational saga centered on the Farrell family, a dynasty of physicians whose lives are as complex and challenging as the patients they serve. The narrative follows Enoch, a devoted country doctor, his son Martin, a brilliant neurosurgeon whose forbidden love threatens his career, and Martin's daughter Claire, who defies societal expectations only to face unforeseen consequences. This compelling story explores themes of ambition, sacrifice, forbidden desire, and the enduring impact of family legacy across decades and diverse landscapes, from the Caribbean to the heart of New York City.
