A collection of stories, meshing fact and fiction, in locations across the globe, taking inspiration from the worlds of science, medicine, and nature, where Murray's characters include doctors, nurses, research scientists--in a cholera tent in the slums of Bombay, a refugee camp in the mountains of Africa, a Key West hideaway. No matter where, the stories are all about the internal world of emotions--love, loss, obsession, conflict--and about families and how they survive. These stories reveal whole lives, characters caught between different cultures, and between their intellect and emotions. An exciting debut. 274 pages. 9.5 x 6.25 inches.
