Brian Harvey's father was the subject of a malpractice suit which destroyed his life and his sense of self. Harvey gets on a boat to sail around Vancouver island with his wife and his dog, carrying the documents about the case with him. Mixing sailing with neurosurgery may feel weird, but the memoir elements of the story make for a beautiful read, and there's some deeply poignant emotion about this man, his father, their relationship and the moment in the Operating Room that Harvey has come to think of so much. This is a really lovely read.
