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.\u003cbr\u003eThe 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.“\u003ci\u003eThe Case of Dr. Sachs\u003c\/i\u003e is a startlingly frank portrait of a small town physician.” \u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e–New York Times Book Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e“Anguish, fear of death, sobs, loneliness, grief: It is all there.
