At the Davies

About the Book

On the fringes of Manhattan, there is a fashionable, high priced Hospital for the Mentally Ill. It is called the Davies. Different kinds of patients are admitted, and treated there. A comparison to Herriot’s books will be unavoidable, except that Raghu Mitra’s book is completely fictional.
