A Bag of Moonshine by Alan Garner

Literature & Fiction

Martin Farrell, born with the twentieth century, was the son of a backwoods doctor. He had seen his father work himself to an exhausted standstill and die penniless but beloved by all whom he had served so devotedly. The same spirit of dedication burned in him, the same fate might well have been his, if luck and exceptional abilities had not led him into the new and adventurous field of brain surgery. From then on it was a hard uphill fight all the way to international fame; his path strangely crisscrossed by the destinies of two remarkable women: the beautiful and talented Mary Fern, whose haunting presence he could never exile form his mind; and her hunchback sister Jessie, whose restless intelligence and fierce courage more than redeemed the deficiencies of her body. The world of international medicine has never been evoked more vividly, nor has a more poignant love story been acted out against this background.
