Mountains Beyond Mountains

There aren’t many real heroes, where the purity of their commitment and the way they articulate those values inspires millions of people … I can’t recommend this book highly enough – Bill Gates
Affecting…at one the story of an epic battle against poverty and a finely balanced character study – Wendell Steavenson * Sunday Times *
Quite simply, Mountains Beyond Mountains is a book you should read. It’s not smug and self-satisfied, it’s not poverty and suffering porn, it’s not predictable. It’s genuinely touching, inspiring and excellently written. Highly recommended – Keith Dudhnath * The Bookbag *
An absorbing read – Julian Fleming * Sunday Business Post *
Inspiring, disturbing, daring and completely absorbing * New York Times Book Review *
A masterpiece that will leave you questioning your own life and political views. It’s the perfect testament to a man who continues to reshape medicine and who has become, undoubtedly, an uncommon saviour to a country that desperately needed one * USA Today *
A true-to-life fairytale … Its stark sense of reality comes as much from the grit between the pages as from the pure gold those pages spin * Boston Sunday Globe *
It’ll fill you equally with wonder and hope * People *
