Publisher's Synopsis
As he works his way through his medical training, Ike Anyas grandmother reassures him: Everything worthwhile is achieved small by small. Ikes story charts the triumphs and failures of his student days through to his first demanding year as a house officer. A medical memoir unlike any from the West, this is filled with the colour and vibrancy of tempestuous 1990s Nigeria, where political unrest, social change and a worsening economy make a doctors life particularly challenging. Full of compassion and insight, often humorous and always moving, this is a unique doctors journey. A small miracle of a book. - Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie Marvellously rich... a generous, thoughtful and necessary book. Jowhor Ile
