Highly imaginative and emotionally powerful, this stunning novel about childhood innocence amid the nightmarish disease and deterioration at the heart of modern Los Angeles was nominated for a National Book Award.

Tired and overworked, surgical resident Richard Kraft finds his protective shell shattered when, along with his physiotherapist, he begins to view the children's ward of the hospital. Determined to give hope where there is none, the adults spin a desperate anthology of stories that promise restoration and escape.

The narrator sounds like he's reading this book for the first time, his odd cadence and stress makes the book very hard to follow - combined with Powers' sometimes overwrought prose, I found this to be practically unlistenable. 3 stars for the story as I couldn't possibly finish it.
