Berto's World

A brilliant second novel (the sequel to "Requiem for the Bone Man")! Our protagonist, Dr. Robert Galen takes us back through his childhood and adolescence. Berto is living in a neighborhood rich with diversity and attending a Catholic School. We meet many colorful folks from the coal-man to the barber - all of whom have a story worth repeating! We get to know Berto's peers and his mentor in medicine, Dr. Agnelli. The story is told with such great understanding of human nature, humor, compassion - all the same attributes that make Dr. Comunale the exceptional Physician he is! This is a "must read", a book that you can't put down!
