Two Lives

This is to remind myself that Vikram Seth's book "Two Lives" (the hardcover signed edition from Borders) is sitting on my shelf waiting for me to read. It is unbelievable that the story is true and that his uncle is really a dentist from India who practiced dentistry with his left-hand (he a right-handed person) here in London after losing his right arm in a war-related explosion... But sure enough, at a book reading which Sarah had tickets to, someone in the audience stood up to say that they were in fact, patients of the former good dentist.
