An absolutely fascinating book.
Beautifully written, deeply perceptive.
Superb. The best account ever published of Father Damien and his long testing at Kalawao.
History with a very special human face ... examines the evidence sensitively and evocatively.
May be the best biography of Damien yet written. Carefully researched and reported, the author’s fascination with the man and the disease is transmitted to the reader.
