Un libro che deve essere letto. Dimostra che lo stetoscopio è un buon strumento non solo per “ascoltare” una persona ma anche una società.
—Furio Colombo
Una lettera d’amore per l’Italia . . . argomenti quali: cosa deve indossare una dottoressa italiana per essere elegante, o, in un capitolo particolarmente saggio e brillante, l’amore e il sesso dal punto di vista italiano e quello americano.
—Publishers Weekly
L’avvincente resoconto della Levenstein, basato sulla sua esperienza come medico americano a Roma, non soltanto è un libro di memorie ma ci fornisce un doppio ritratto: quello del cambiamento di un paese e dell’evoluzione dell’assistenza sanitaria.
