While reporting a story from India, New York journalist Patrick Wallingford inadvertently becomes his own headline when his left hand is eaten by a lion. In Boston, a renowned surgeon eagerly awaits the opportunity to perform the nation's first hand transplant.
But what if the donor's widow demands visitation rights with the hand? In answering this unexpected question, John Irving has written a novel that is by turns brilliantly comic and emotionally moving, offering a penetrating look at the power of second chances and the will to change.

What an interesting story, something one could expect from John Irving! It's been at least over 15 years since I read his books, now I am going to get those missing from my shelf and read them.

CONTROLLED RELEASE NOTES:
To the winner of Book, Chocolate & Tea Sweep, enjoy!
Arrived today with some wonderful Finnish chocolate and gorgeous teabags with Moomins on, just love it !! Thank you so much!
It's been ages since I read a John Irving but his witty character observations never age. It had the usual laugh out loud moments but then he gets you with his far more meaningful human emotions. He is a great writer and perhaps I should dig out some more of his classics
