Human-narrated audio, Human-transcribed braille
Summary
Battlefield surgeon Norman Bethune - when not tending to Mao's starving army - is diligently writing a philosophical yet jarringly frank memoir for the daughter he has never seen. His musings over bombs, blood, betrayals, and lost love offer little… in the way of comfort, providing trenchant insights into human nature instead. They reflect the troubled soul of a war-weary idealist whose dreams of a better world were battered by ugly reality. Some descriptions of violence and some strong language. 2006.
