Reviews

`Cardiologist Jauhar moves beautifully between "dual tracks" of "learning about the heart...but also what was in my heart,"... Covering enough physiology to make scientific details easily understood, Jauhar emphasizes how brave, desperate, and sometimes foolhardy experiments led to important developments, such as the heart-lung machine... Jauhar is thoughtful, self-reflective, and profoundly respectful of doctors and patients alike; readers will respond by opening their own hearts a little bit, to both grief and wonder.' * Publisher's Weekly, starred review *
