Seven Spots On The Sun (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780573706783)

The village of San Isidro has been without its doctor for eighteen months. Mois s has remained a recluse, refusing to even look at a patient, since the day the army took his wife away during the country's civil war. But when a mysterious plague begins to ravage the countryside around San Isidro, the local parish priest convinces Mois s to take action. And when Mois s examines his first patient, he discovers he has the miraculous power to heal this plague with the touch of his hand. But among the thousands of pilgrims who flock to San Isidro, Mois s is forced to confront his past, and San Isidro the violence that tore it apart. A meditation on mourning, redemption, and revenge, Seven Spots On The Sun follows each character's attempt to come to terms with the extraordinary losses they have suffered and the miracles they have witnessed.
