What an inspiration! I loved this true story of how two Turkish immigrants living in Germany found each other, and set out on a quest to cure cancer with their company BioNTech. On their journey, in January 2020 they stopped their cancer work to focus on a new and more pressing threat, that of the …
I am a big fan of Lisa Genova. I have read 4 out of the 5 books she has written and I love them all. However, this one is my favourite. I prefer the writing style of this book as it is much wittier than her other books; it almost feels like a different writer. …
