Summary:
"Situated more than one hundred miles off
Italy
's southern coast, the rocky island of
Lampedusa
has hit world headlines in recent years as the first port of call for hundreds of thousands of African and Middle Eastern refugees fleeing civil war and terrorism and those hoping to make a new life in Europe. Dr. Pietro Bartolo, who runs the lone medical clinic on the island, has been caring for many of them, both the living and the dead, for a quarter century. This is Dr. Bartolo's moving account of his life and work set against one of the signal crises of our time. He tells unforgettable tales of pain and hope, stories of those who didn't make it and those who did. Pietro Bartolo was born in
Lampedusa
to a family of fishermen. He returned to
Lampedusa
after getting his medical degree, and has been running the island's lone clinic since 1991"--Provided by publisher.
