What I am reading now - "The Far Side of the Sky"

Just starting reading "The Far Side of the Sky" by Daniel Kalla, for our next book club meeting.  Daniel Kalla  is an emergency room physician at St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, and uses his medical knowledge in crafting his novels.

The story takes place initially in Viennia just before the start of WWII with a Jewish surgeon deciding to escape Austria but finding the doors of many other countries closed to Jews.  However, he is able to flee to Singapore.  Then of course, he has to deal with the Japanese invasion.  Look forward to getting right into this novel.
