Description
Bruno Sachs is a country doctor who makes house calls and feels deeply for his patients. There are broken bones, unwanted pregnancies, people without the will to live, a friend dying of cancer. His pity for his fellow creatures is both his motivating force and his own untreatable condition. Among the deaths, love affairs, and small town gossip, a love story emerges at the heart of the novel-between Dr. Sachs and a young woman upon whom he once performed an abortion.The Case of Dr. Sachs is a novel filled with voices of silent suffering and arias of quiet joy, and one dedicated to the notion that literature, like medicine, can save lives.

“The Case of Dr. Sachs is a startlingly frank portrait of a small town physician.” –New York Times Book Review “Anguish, fear of death, sobs, loneliness, grief: It is all there. And also comedy. The Case of Doctor Sachs is a touching human document by a physician-writer who does honor to both terms of his appellation. . . . His words, simple and unpretentious, move us deeply.” –Washington Post Book World “Poignant without being maudlin or unsentimental. . . the novel is full of insightful writing that can only come from someone who has watched people closely for a long time.” –New England Journal of Medicine |
