Fourth Hand
John Irving
While reporting from India, a journalist has his left hand eaten by a lion; millions of TV viewers witness it. In Boston a surgeon awaits the opportunity to perform the nation's first hand transplant, and a woman in Wisonsin wants to give the journalist her husband's hand - but he is still alive.

Posted by krin5292 (21 weeks ago ) This book started with a touch of quirky humor but over time changed into a serious love story. I liked how Patrick learns about true love and compassion as he tries to win Doris' heart. I also found the insight into television news coverage informative.
