An Extraordinary Transplant Leads To An Unexpected Love Story
Good Condition - Price stickers on front and back, chipping to top corner and small tear at lower edge of jacket, toned page edges.
Television journalist Patrick Wallingford becomes an international news story when a lion takes his left hand during a report from India. A surgeon sees the chance to attempt a pioneering transplant, but the proposed donor's widow brings an unusual condition: she wants to keep visiting her husband's hand. What begins as an absurd collision of medical ambition, media spectacle and personal desire draws Patrick into a relationship he could never have anticipated. John Irving moves from sharp comedy towards an exploration of grief and affection, following a man forced to reconsider his superficial habits. At its centre is the possibility that an extraordinary loss might open the way to a different life.
