The Gifts of the Body by Rebecca Brown
Delivering a voice of inspiration that transcends the AIDS epidemic, this emotionally wrenching novel speaks to everyone who has ever given or received the gift of compassion. A volunteer health-care worker delivers small gifts of daily life--a sponge bath, a hot meal--and gains in return an opportunity to watch and to witness, to mourn and to remember.Rebecca M.Brown is a visiting Associate Professor of Political Science and Art History at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, where she studies colonialism and post-independence South Asia. Art for a Modern India, 1947-1980 (2009) and Asian Art (co-edited with Deborah S.) are two of her publications. 2006, Hutton.
