This novel is truly an inspiring one and is a perfect tribute to the selfless doctors who have dedicated their lives to the welfare of the public. We would have heard/read or even had the opportunity to meet some of these doctors who charged a meager Rs.5/10/20 to the public. I could only relate the protagonist of this novel to those legends who live even after they have passed out. In fact, I also had the privilege to be given consultation by one such Doctor who use to charge Rs.10/20 when others used to charge 3-5 times more on those days.

The novel comprises characters that include Dr. Jennissa, Petricia, Philip, Anjali, Sylaja, Madhusoodanan, Jagan, Sujadha, Thowrak among others.

This is an emotional novel that also has a spiritual connection. How Dr. Jennissa revives the clinic of her demised grandfather with the help of her juniors coupled with events that unfolds post that has been vividly captured in this novel. Though Mathiraj is into creative writing and English literature, the way he narrated the novel and the characterization of all mentioned above, need to be given applause. I felt like watching a perfect North Madras movie in the form of a novel.

The difficulties faced by the team and how they overcome them and what happens post that including a miracle and the protagonist's encounter with the Lord Jesus Christ in the end will certainly be appreciated not only by the readers of the Christian faith but also by all those who are not an atheist.
