An excellent novel, that has all the qualities of a good novel. Why didn't this win any awards. It is better than every National Book Award winner and finalist I have read with the exception of "The Echo Maker". Politics, I'm thinking. The author is a doctor, and this is his first novel. He's not part of the "club", so he doesn't win an award.
And he follows a proven, time-tested, format for his novel, which makes it a powerful and dramatic story. It's a job well done.
